[#0000FF]Hey Glen, I never leave home without a good assortment of Gulp goodies. But I seldom take more than a few of each...and hardly even carry the little bottles. Impossible to keep them from leaking and eventually drying out those spendy little tidbits.
Instead, I use some of the little plastic bags I use for lures. I put a few of each size and color in the bags. I may have two or three colors in one bag...along with a drizzle of the "super juice" to keep them moist and flavorful. Then I squeeze out most of the air and seal the little bag...and then roll it before placing it in my "Gulp jars".
I can hold several bags of several colors in each of a couple of cleaned out plastic jars that once held bottled oysters. They are light, strong and quite leakproof. If you remember to reseal each little bag as you use it you NEVER have a problem with leakage or drying out. But even if you hastily jam an unsealed bag back in, you usually won't suffer any losses if you check back occasionally.
I always keep a small 3 oz. plastic drip bottle of the Gulp juice with me while fishing. It is great for re-stinking the Gulp plastics while in use...or even for adding a couple of drops to crawlers or fish parts after you have fished them unmolested for a while. And if you ain't a purist they really work to "kick it up a notch" when using marabou jigs or even (heaven forbid) flies. And if you notice one of your little Gulp baggies getting low on juice you can just add a few more drops and you are good to go for another 10,000 fin kicks.
When I fish straight Gulp minnows, I usually use the 3"...with smelt color being best...and white or chartreuse shad being good alternates. But I also use a lot of the little 1" in either white or chartreuse shad. This year I have been doing well by using the 1" size to tip 3" plastics...for walleyes, wipers, catfish and even trout. The last picture shows how I run the hook up through the front end of the little Gulpette...allowing it to swing freely on the hook. That not only spreads the scent but adds to the action and profile. At least a few fish have voted for it in the last couple of months.
