Quick take
A 3 in scented soft shrimp imitation that disperses scent widely to expand the strike zone.
Berkley's Gulp! ghost shrimp is a 3-inch soft bait in red belly shrimp color, sold in packs of seven. It is made to look, feel and smell like a live ghost shrimp, and it can be rigged with any technique suited to live shrimp. It suits saltwater anglers who want a soft-plastic stand-in for live bait.
Best for
- Inshore saltwater flats and shallow structures
- Redfish, trout, and small tarpon hunting in shallows
- Sight casting to tailing and cruising fish
Skip if
- You fish strong current where scent dispersal matters less
- You want a smaller or larger profile than 3 inches
Strengths
- Extreme scent dispersion creates a wider strike zone than hard baits
- Soft plastic body mimics natural shrimp movement and feel
- Red belly color matches common shrimp forage in coastal waters
Trade-offs
- Scent diminishes quickly after a few casts
- Soft body hooks more easily on sharp structures and shells
- 7 count is a small pack for frequent users

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
