Gulp Swimming Mullet Review And Tutorial

A popular inshore fishing lure is the Berkley Gulp Swimming Mullet.

This is one of my favorite lures to throw at juvenile tarpon. It can also be used to target redfish, trout, snook and even black drum.

This lure has a tail similar to a bass worm tail, which gives it some very vibrant action in the water.

After thoroughly using the Gulp Swimming Mullet, I wanted to give you my honest review of this lure.

In this video, I give you my top pros and cons for the Gulp Swimming Mullet and show you how to rig and retrieve this lure.

Great video! By the way, that "softenting" of the lure is a straight revenue-boosting strategy. We're all buying more of these than we used to have to. Their scent formula is perfect, and that supports the deminished plastic quality. They'll push it as far as they can. At some point, a competitor will match their scent quality and take them out by the knees with a lower price point.

I have been successful with using the Chartreuse Swimming Minnow under a popping cork as well. It has quite a bit of versatility.

Best saltwater lure I've EVER fished

[abrahamstein]

Try wrapping dental floss onto head side upper third of the hook -jig, then coat floss with super glue and push plastic bait into place. The jig will hold longer and work better. Could also place plastic on upside down, so the tail will less likely catch on the hook.

Super helpful. headed surf fishing and i need to learn! thanks

[TheKudukiller]

I use these on popping corks, I mainly catch trout and snook but it definitely is one of my go to lures

[hectortamales]

When the tails are bitten off, you can replace with a small spoon threaded through the body and that really works the fish up. Also, you could rubberband the body around the jighead which will keep it on the hook itself.

What size do you guys generally use? I’m guessing 3-4 inch?

[smcewen]

Too many people were complaining about the action of gulp baits, so I guess they made of softer so they had more action. I take the little pieces if a pin fish or something should bite off the tail I save a little pieces and put them back in the juice and tip jig heads with them, saves alot of money.

[comfortablynumb]

I wish other baits would get bites like Gulp. Around the Chesapeake Bay area I often outfish the people using real bait with Gulp. I use Salt Strong or Z Man if the tail biters are bad,
The silver and the gold Gulp swimming mullet seem to be quite a bit tougher than the white or chartreuse and I catch plenty of fish on the silver. I caught 7 flounder on one last weekend.

I always have a pack of gulp mullet with me. when I'm getting hits, but they're not hitting hooks, I switch to these and it generally fixes my issue.

[delmonicofarquhar]

Excellent video! Now all I've got to do is get away to put this information to use. LOL. Many thanks!

[MegaTechno]

Turn the bait so the tail is facing downward...that way it wont catch on the hook.

[YoungOHH]

What hook size do you recommend for the 4 inch swimming mullet .?

[christopherdavis]

Thanks for sharing, very helpful, happy fishing

[yardhostler]

That's my favorite lure for large and small mouth.

Can you mix the mullet and shrimp juices together, is it the same formula or will that just screw it up? They seem to be a slightly different color fluids.
