Gulp Saltwater Turbo Shrimp
Gulp Saltwater Turbo Shrimp adds extra movement to a realistic shrimp profile with a unique oscillating leg system, segmented body, and fan tail. As the bait moves through the water, the legs move back and forth to create turbulence and vibration while helping disperse Gulp! scent.
The flexible construction provides lifelike movement through the water column, while the specialized legs continue to add motion during pauses in the retrieve. Available in 3-inch, 4-inch, and 5-inch sizes and a range of natural and attention-grabbing colors, the Gulp Saltwater Turbo Shrimp gives saltwater anglers plenty of flexibility for different conditions and presentations.
