The Berkley Gulp! Freshwater Paddleshad is a soft swimbait that combines a lifelike tail kicking action with the infused scent of Gulp!. It is designed to enhance your fishing experience by attracting fish beyond the visible range of the lure. Unlike other scented baits, the extreme dispersion of Gulp! scent has proven to be more effective in luring in predatory fish from a distance. The Paddleshad has a realistic baitfish profile and a flattened nose that allows for easy rigging of jig heads. Its boot-tail and minnow shaped body work together to provide a fast kicking action, even at slow retrieval speeds.
