[#0000FF]I am an Amazon Prime member and I get a lot of my Gulp goodies there...usually at a bit better prices and with 2 day delivery and no freight or tax.
In the final analysis, no matter what color or size you use...or how you fish it...the major attraction of the Gulp stuff is the scent. I always carry a small bottle of the recharge liquid or the super stuff. I add a drop or two after fishing something for a while. I also put it on marabou jigs and some plastics...or tip them with a small piece of Gulp Trout Worms. Can't begin to recall how many times I have had almost instant action after juicing up a jig or adding a Gulp bitty bite to it. It has even proven effective in dosing up a piece of natural bait that has soaked a while without getting munched. Again, there is often a quick response from the fish after you toss out a piece of "refreshed" bait.
Not sure about the floating minnows. I can see where they might have some application in fishing them on a slider rig to get them above bottom weeds. But I still prefer to work them actively and to control depth and action with the rod tip.
Bottom bottom line...for me? Although the Gulp minnows all smell pretty much the same to my human nose there are apparently some subtle differences that make a difference to the fish. That and the colors. There have been days when the fish showed definite preferences for specific sizes, colors and presentations. But that is what fishing is all about...figuring out what the fish want and serving it to them the way they want it.
