I hear a lot of guys talking about using "Gulp" shrimp to catch reds. Can anyone shed some light on this? What size, how to rig them? Do you put a egg weight and sink them, or fish them middle, top? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

1/8, 1/4, or 3/8 oz jig head depending on depth. 1/8 is what i use the most.

TO ANSWER HIS QUESTION…………… "GULP" shrimp are imitation plastic like shrimp impregnated with and immersed in a stinky liquid that attracts fish from the scent. They work, and are handy to use when live shrimp are not available. Many a fisherman swear by them. They are available at any bait store or Wall Mart but are expensive(~$1 a piece). New penny 3” appear to be the most popular. They can be fished any way you want....under a popping cork or on a frelined jig head. I personally do not think they beat live shrimp but that is just one opinion.
Now…………. they are sold in small($19) and large($39) buckets with plenty of stinky liquid or in small packets(about $6) Watch out for these "bucket" screw top containers! The lids do not seem to work that easily and I have found they leak, losing that precious stinky liquid. Tip: I went to Wall Mart and bought come glass bell jars either screw top, snap top or one that just the top plugs in snugly(these are all small and can hold 10 shrimp). Then I bought a bucket and transferred some into the glass jar with enough stinky liquid to cover using a turkey baster. You can then shake the jar to be sure there is a lot of "stink" on the shrimp. This technique should last several seasons especially if you spill the jar, you have plenty more in the big bucket at home.
I hope this helps.
