Most anglers (salt & fresh) have used a Berkley Gulp or Gulp Alive products in the past and have had luck with Gulp. The one thing I've experienced as well as other fishermen have told me is that Gulp does not have enough action. The Berkley Company listened and has come out with the Gulp and Gulp Alive Ripple Mullet; with the first Gulp product to ever have a firetail design.
The Ripple Mullet has the best of both worlds; action and the great catching scent of Gulp. Berkley really got it right on these baits. Here are some stats on the Ripple Mullet:
Proven tail swimming action
10 Colors and 5 with Chartreuse tails
Unique ribbed shape creates fish attracting water disturbance
Colors Chartreuse/ Pepper, Glow/Chartreuse tail, Goby Magic/Chartreuse tail, New Penny w/Fleck, Pearl White, Purple Blue Fleck/Chartreuse tail, Rootbeer Gold/Chartreuse tail, Pink, Watermelon Red Glitter, Morning Glory/chartreuse tail.
A great advantage that sets the Ripple Mullet apart from other baits is the Ripple cut body that creates a fish attracting water disturbance. When you swim this bait through the water, it not only just swims its tail; it also rocks side to side. When this is happening you get a vibration from the lure that fish can sense. Another advantage is Gulp bait with a color tipped tail. One thing that has helped me catch more Redfish and Speckled Trout has been color tipped tails on artificial baits. Why do fish love them so much? I have not a clue but maybe it gives off a little more swim action look to the tail and the fish can see it easier. What ever the reason, fish seem to like it and we know it's a proven fish catching advantage.
Rigging the Ripple Mullet is easy, just rig it the way you like to rig any soft plastic baits. Here are a few ways I've had success rigging the Ripple Mullet; Jig/Grub lead head, Carolina/Slip rig, Weedless/Texas rig and Drop shot rig. One other note to rigging the Ripple Mullet, if you are going to rig it on a jig head, try a spring/wire lock jig head; this will insure that the Ripple Mullet does not slip off the jig head.
Give the Ripple Mullet a try, I bet you'll have some great luck with them. If you have any questions about this Berkley product or any Berkley product please let me know or visit www.Berkley-fishing.com
