I haver been a lot of fishing Sizmic toads lately and have had some very nice fish with them. This weekend my last toad met its untimely demise so I had to replenish the stocks.

When I went to the local fleet farm I found that they did not have anymore of these treasures on there shelves so I started looking around. In the clearance bin i found 8 bags of Gulp Bat wing frogs that were marked at 50% off. So for $2.75 a bag I bought all of them, 3 different colors.

I was pretty happy about finding this deal but have not had a chance to get out and use them yet. My question is are these things actually worth the extra money (when bought at full price ) when compared to a bag of unscented plain old $2.50 for 8 Sizmic toads?

I forgot to add, the areas that I use them in are completely matted in scum, often times only scattered with garbage can lid sized pockets of open water here and there.

They have a pretty good action and hook-ups are a little better for me than with other plastic frogs ('cause it's GULP! and they hold on longer) but be glad you got 'em on sale because they do tear up pretty easy ('cause it's GULP! and they don't hold up).

I wouldn't have bought them if they were not on sale. 6 bucks for 4 soft "plastic" frogs is outrageous and once they are gone I'm sure ill switch back to the 3 bucks for 6.

Everything gulp sucks in my opinion.

Yeah, your right - these baits are no good -- oh, wait,,,what was it that everybody was using at the Champion's Choice Tournament ----GULP!  Even marinating their other plastics in GULP! juice -- probably just a coincidence.

I haven't used the Gulp frogs, but I've used the Gulp leeches & gobies on a drop shot. These baits are very productive in this rig.

Everything gulp sucks in my opinion.

X2 I hate gulp, even the way it's scent sticks to your hands.
