How to Hook a Gulp! Crab

The Berkley Gulp! crab is an artificial bait made from natural ingredients. It is designed to mimic a live peeler crab. The unique bait is impregnated with scent and, indeed, the crabs are strong-smelling. Studies have shown the Gulp! crab emits 400 times more scent than a real crab. The Berkley Gulp! crab is available in 1-, 2- and 4-inch models in a wide variety of colors. The water-soluble lure is 100 percent biodegradable and breaks down in nature in about nine months.
