Gulp! Swimming Mullet

A scented paddletail that swims on the slowest retrieve and smells like food, so fish hold on longer; on a jighead it catches almost everything inshore.

How to fish it

1
Thread it straight on a jighead heavy enough to reach bottom in the current.
2
Cast and let it fall to the bottom on a tight line.
3
Lift the rod to hop it up, then reel slack as it swims back down.
4
Mix in a slow straight retrieve so the tail thumps along just off bottom.

BigJoe Tips

Keep unused Gulp in its liquid and close the bag tight; dried-out baits get hard and lose scent.
Thread it perfectly straight; a crooked bait spins and fish ignore it.
Use the lightest jighead that still reaches the bottom; a slow fall gets more bites.
