Anybody tried these yet? I have used 5' Bass Assassins for years, but these look good. But, at $8.00 for 4, not a bargain.

dad gum Old salt I knew you liked to fish big but it must be hard to cast a 7' (ft) gulp. Laughing

I have used the 7" (inch) gulp versus to catch some big reds. As for 5' (ft)long soft plastics ????

some old salts can't keep the fish stories from the bait stories. the rest of the story if told must be: using 7' gulp and catching 4" fish. what hoppen?

I have been using them for almost a year when I found them at Cabellas. I caught some large trout and a few reds. They aren't that expensive up here in Austin. I was getting the tails bitten off the last time I was down so I took about an inch off and that did the trick. They also have a new gulp sand eel I tried but it seems to skinny to properly feed on a jig head. Anyone else try these? I am going to try them again on a regular worm hook.

Dang. Yea, I like catching big fish, but my shoulder still hurts from slinging those 5-7' plus plastics. I will scale down to smaller baits soon.

What rod and reel does it take to sling that big of a lure?

I tried one of those at the Navy base pier with a salt water zebco reel and an ugly stick trying to catch gaftops and a freakin 5 foot Tarpon hit that baby and in a blink of an eye it went snapola and off she went flipping and shacking her head like crazy... they are good baits believe me.... Very Happy

Speaking of that guy - can you imagine the areas that he could wade? Laughing
