The Berkley Gulp! Freshwater Paddleshad combines a realistic tail kicking action with the famous Gulp! scent infusion. It is an excellent soft swimbait that can be used in any fishing scenario. These baits are designed to help you catch more fish by attracting them from a larger area. The strong dispersion of Gulp! scent is highly effective in attracting predatory fish from a distance, making it superior to other scented baits available. The Paddleshad has a lifelike baitfish appearance and a flattened nose that allows easy rigging of jig heads. Its boot-tail and minnow shaped body work together to create a fast kicking action even at slow retrieval speeds.
