Quick take
A 5 in soft swimbait with a high-action paddle tail and rapid scent dispersion that attracts fish from a distance.
The Berkley Gulp Swimming Mullet is a 5-inch soft swimbait in the Nuclear Chicken color, with a paddle tail built for a lifelike swimming motion on each retrieve. Its scent is meant to carry to fish from a greater distance, which suits anglers working saltwater flats, reefs or freshwater cover. It is a practical choice for anglers who want a natural swimming profile on a jighead.
Best for
- Saltwater flats and nearshore fishing
- Bass, redfish and flounder in inshore areas
- Anglers targeting fish that feed on mullet-sized baitfish
Skip if

- You want a lure that sinks slowly; this swims actively
Strengths
- Gulp scent disperses rapidly in water, expanding the strike zone

- Works on spinning gear or small jig heads
Trade-offs
