Pros: biodegradable
Cons: stiff, limited action

I have not had as good an experience with the Freshwater series gulp baits as I have with the saltwater. Probably due more to the style of bait and rigging technique than anything else

I was pretty disappointed in the 5" sinking minnow. They do not have the action of their peers (ie. Yamamoto Senko). The plastic was hard and did not react well to hook penetration - not very supple. Difficult to skin hook. The pearl white baits discolored pretty quickly to a dingy tan. I have not seen the same kind of response to the scent as I see in saltwater. Other pourable scents have seemed to work better for me in freshwater.

Pros: catches fish
Cons: stinks

I have had good experiences with gulp, I agree about the sinking minnow worms but they have allot of new types of baits and colors, check out e-bay for stuff they dont have in Dicks or Wal Mart
