I've fished gulp swimbaits side by side with other brands and outfish em 5 to 1.  They held up longer also.  I like em.    :smt001

I use bloody tuna gel for nearly everything.  If I have time then I inject or soak my plastic baits in pro-cure herring oil or sardine/anchovy oil.
where can I order this? 
Thanks
Ken


They had it on the angler west site you posted.

Haven't tried any of the strip baits, but have used the Gulp saltwater bait fish and slayed greenling in the WA San Juans. They worked pretty well for big cabbies and lings, too. Pearl white.

+1 .....worked well at bean hollow

Bloody Tuna and a strip of squid every time. I even use BT on my bead setup for salmon on the AR and did very good last year. Can't wait for this years run!

gulp sucks don't use it...

I use Gulp Alive ghost shrimp tails to tip shrimp flies. One bait will last all day. Rockies and lings love them. Don't have to apply bait or scents constantly. I use these on a dropper loop above whatever jig I'm using. This bait usually out fishes the swim baits and jigs fished under it. Surprising how many legal lings I get on the shrimp fly.
So I'm packing my bags for the Misty Mountains, where the spirits go...........

I've been fishing for RF and Lings for long time.   I use to fish Cordell Banks and Fanny Shoals when it still open and experienced catching giants.
When I started all we had were chrome diamond bars and a few colors of scampi's for artificials. Sometimes add small piece of squid.

Anglers back then were catching just as good without using all the hi tech baits available now.   My deck hand friend would joke with me every time somebody brings out a christmas tree ornaments set up.  The experienced guys stuck to the basics.  Diamond bar on the bottom and teaser shrimp fly a foot above with a piece of squid.  Switch it up with a white or rootbeer scampi once in a while. 
This set up won the boat jackpot 90% of the time.
