Has any one tried Berkley Gulp Alive 3" & 4" Minnow looks like something to have around when there is no live bait handy. With the right grub head and hook will act like a real minnow when retrieved slowly. Will also work on a dropshop setup. You might want to check these out.

I used a few of the gulp saltwater worms and did catch some perch.  I did find that non fisher types find it less gross to handle than real worms or bait.

I have tried Gulp minnow as a drop shot rig in the salt but I had  better luck with other plastics and scent. Or tipped jigs and swimbaits.
