The Berkley Gulp! Alive Freshwater Paddleshad is an innovative soft swimbait designed for anglers looking to improve their catch rate. The Black Silver color is particularly versatile, appealing to a wide range of predatory species that respond to realistic baitfish imitations. Engineered to mimic the movement and appearance of smaller fish, this lure is especially effective in attracting bass, walleye, and other freshwater predators.
The impressive lifelike tail kicking action of the Paddleshad, in combination with Berkley's proprietary Gulp! scent infusion, works to stimulate fish and prompt aggressive strikes. The technology behind this lure not only looks realistic but also releases a strong scent trail that can expand your strike zone by enticing fish that are further away from the actual lure.
Designed to be user-friendly, the realistic baitfish profile and a flattened nose allow for easy rigging on jig heads. A notable feature of the Paddleshad is the distinct boot-tail and minnow shaped body, which create dynamic swimming action that remains highly effective even when retrieved slowly.
The Berkley Gulp! Alive series provides an added advantage with its packaging. Each resealable hard plastic container, also known as a half pint, is filled with the famous “Gulp Juice”, which not only serves as a storage solution but also recharges the baits with attractant, ensuring they remain as effective as the day they were bought.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the Gulp! scent infusion work?
A: The Gulp! scent is absorbed into the soft bait and disperses into the water as soon as it hits the surface, creating a scent trail that attracts fish from afar. This technology outperforms other scents on the market in terms of dispersion and fish attraction.
Q: What sets the Paddleshad apart from other swimbaits?
A: Unique to the Paddleshad is its ability to combine visual realism with unparalleled scent technology, resulting in a bait that not only looks natural in the water but also smells appealing to fish. Its design ensures that it delivers an enticing swim action even when the retrieve is slow, which can trigger bites from more cautious fish.
Q: Is it necessary to recharge the Paddleshad after each use?
A: While not necessarily after each use, it is beneficial to recharge the bait to maintain its maximum effectiveness. By storing the Paddleshad back in its original container filled with Gulp! fluid, anglers can ensure that their bait remains potent and ready for the next fishing adventure.
By incorporating the Berkley Gulp! Alive Paddleshad into your fishing arsenal, you're equipping yourself with a lure that provides visual appeal, scent attraction, and practicality all in one compact and effective package.
