Berkley’s Gulp! soft plastics have been a favorite among saltwater anglers for years. Baits like the Gulp! Shrimp and Swimming Mullet have earned their reputation not just for their lifelike appearance, but for the powerful scent they release. Berkley’s proprietary Gulp! formula spreads scent through the water up to 400 times more than traditional soft plastics, turning curious followers into committed strikes, and that scent dispersion is a big reason why Gulp! baits are a solid choice when you want a productive day on the water.
Building on this proven success, Berkley has introduced two new baits to the Gulp! saltwater lineup: the Gulp! Saltwater Turbo Shrimp and the Gulp! Saltwater Nemesis Prawn Curl Tail. Both are designed to give anglers an edge, combining lifelike movement with scent-dispersing features that help draw fish from a distance and increase strike potential in a wide range of conditions.
The Turbo Shrimp is a fresh take on a proven profile. Its standout feature is a legged design that creates vibration and turbulence during retrieval, mimicking the erratic movement of a live shrimp. A segmented body and fan tail enhance the action, making the soft plastic look even more natural in the water.
Available in 3″, 4″, and 5″ sizes, the Turbo Shrimp comes in eleven color options, including classic favorites like Pearl White, New Penny, and Nuclear Chicken, as well as exciting new additions such as America and Ocean Shift. These color choices are designed to help anglers adapt to changing water clarity and light conditions, ensuring visibility and attraction in any environment.
For a more subtle presentation, the Nemesis Prawn Curl Tail delivers with precision. Its reverse-curled tail activates with minimal movement, producing realistic action even at slow speeds. It can be jigged off the bottom or straight-retrieved, making it versatile across different retrieve techniques.
With a heavily spiked head and textured body, the Nemesis Prawn is built to stir things up, literally. These features create turbulence that enhances scent dispersion and draws fish from farther away. Available in 4″ and 5″ sizes, the Nemesis Prawn Curl Tail comes in eight color options, offering a mix of classic and new patterns that perform in everything from calm, clear flats to deeper, stained water.
With the Turbo Shrimp and Nemesis Prawn Curl Tail, Berkley continues to push forward with smart, effective bait designs. Whether you’re looking for aggressive action or a finesse approach, these two baits give you the tools to catch more fish and adapt to whatever the day brings.
Both baits retail for $8.99 and are available now at local tackle shops and on berkley-fishing.com.
