Gulp Alive Belly Strip
« on: August 06, 2010, 12:03:40 PM »
Hello,

Has anyone used the 7" Gulp Alive Belly Strips? It looks like a good product for Fluke just wondering if anyone has had any success with it?

Regards,

Chris

I've tried them three times this season.

First cast on a new Spro with teaser.  Get slammed as soon as it it bottom.  Leader broke at teaser. Line looked like and hit felt like it was a yellow-eyed demon. One new belly strip, Spro 2oz, teaser hook and Gulp shrimp donated. thud

Rerigged and second attempt yielded some bites.  Got one short on the belly strip, two on teaser.  Felt some quick short bites, reeled up and belly strip now belly stub.   rgmn

Third attempt produced another short, but by then drift slowed and went back to 1oz spro with trimmed down 6" Gulp power grub which produced two keepers.

To me the jury is still out on the belly strip.  Did seem to get turned into a stub way too quickly.  Did swim pretty nice though and warrants another try or two. slt

I don't see why they wouldn't work. Fluke this season are hitting anything. From squid to gulp minnows to a plain bucktail.

Hello,

I figured they might get short bit so I was planning on using a stinger hook about 3" back figuring one at the wide end and then the stinger about halfway down the strip. I plan on giving it a try tommorrow I post how things go.

I had a stinger on the first one. Was a swivel with jig assist hook on it.  One end of swivel gets loop of the assist hook, other slid on hook and crimped.  That got lost on first try as mentioned fcp

Didn't bother with the next ones.  With the belly strip, gotta leave some slack in stinger hook to keep the good action it produces.

Catch em up and let us know how they do! chrz

Well.....

My test pretty much sucked not a nibble on the strips I used a plain hook with a stinger not a
thing  5hrug switched to yellow gulp mullet with a plain hook and got some action albiet nothing to write home about but better than the skunk.....At least the strips came in a nice big container with lots of juice in it I can recharge my 4" mullets in.
