| So I bought a pack of Gulps today... They were 4 inch minnows I think, have'nt used them yet... How do you guys rig them??? Just hook through them, with a weight about 2inches away and let em sink to the bottom??

| I use them two different ways. One way is to use a caralina rog setup, with the hook tied to the leader with no weight. I buy freshwater bass worm hooks, long "offset" hooks. This lets me place the hook farther toward the back of the bait. The second way is to use no weight at all. It is more of a natural presentation, Mainline-swivel-leader then the hook and bait. Hook is the same as above. Gamagatzu <---sp. makes some great offset hooks. 4/0 or 5/0 are the sizes I use. Hope this helps. I use them with Gulps, Zoom Flukes, and Bass Assasins.
You catch some, you lose some but the beer will never say no or try to run away.

| I use the 1/4 jigheads with a split shot sinker about 6-8" above the jighead and just bump them along the bottom bring them up out of the grass periodically. Also, use them under a popping cork with no weight. Set the leader line to keep the bait just above the grass. If you haven't used them before, I think you will be pleased. If I could choose only one gulp, it would be the 3" new penny shrimp. Good luck. We will be looking for some pic's.

| I became a believer of gulps! this winter, but not necessary for summer time fishing. Pinfish will tear them apart after a few casts. Especially the jerk bait types. Got tired of changing them out all the time. Not to mention watching almost a $ be thrown away every 5 casts because the little bastards nip the tail off. If you do want to spend the money you can try the stand up jig heads for the jerk baits. Easy to rig, can fish it deep or shallow, doesn't get caught up in the grass very much and looks great just sitting there.

I just keep on fishing em when the tail get's bit off of the jerk shad...sometimes I even like them better that way.
