James RickardThe difference between Gulp and Power Bait
October 4th 2009 01:20
You may think Berkely's Gulp is just a beefed up version of its Power Bait.
I thought the same thing when Gulp first hit the market but, they're two completely different products.
I have to admit that both are made as attractants to help you catch more fish but, for me, the similarities end there.
If you are into the ecology thing, or care one iota about polluting the environment, Gulp is the way to go because while Power Bait uses an oil-based formula, Gulp is water-based and will start dispersing its scent as soon as it hits the water. Remember, oil and water don't mix so, this is why I usually prefer Gulp.
When do I recommend Power Bait?
For the average person, I think Power Bait can best be used when an angler is sure fish are in the area and he wants to give himself an edge.
After saying that, it would appear I prefer Gulp. Yes and no. Either can be looked at as a tool. To obtain optimum results from the tool, you must fully understand the tool.
If the bite is there, either product will cause the fish to savor the taste of the bait a split second longer and, hopefully, make it easier to set the hook. Gulp, on the other hand, can be used when the fish may not see the bait well because of murky water, poor lighting, or heavy vegetation. Even though fish may not see the bait, Gulp will disperse and help them home in on your lure like a shark following a chum trail.
