Gulp question

[dashaver63]

Does Gulp go bad after a while? I know some bottled scents spoil after a while. I was wondering about the gulp because the juice in some of my older bags of gulp is brown now and was thinking I should just throw them away and get some new stuf next year.

I'm not really sure, but I know the new recharge cans are supposed to be the best Gulp! ever.  I usually just go ahead and store my used products in them, instead of the bags now.

How does it smell?

[Buckeye]

I think the new recharge kits (lizards, minnows, and leeches) smell just like any other Gulp! product.  I wouldn't say it smells any different, but they claim that it will "recharge" the baits if they been out of the package.  I also carry the crawfish spray.

 How old is old? My bate never last that long! Before I run out of bate.

I always heard powerbait only has a shelf life of 1 year, but I don't buy it.  I put my bagged gulp into the gulp alive cans.  As long as you have enough juice in the cans they will last a year or two.  The gulp alive scent is no different from what I'm told, but the baits are able to absorb 20% more scent.  My complaint with gulp alive is you pay $20 for a bucket and 10-15% of the baits are kinked up.

Anyone actually notice a difference (OR NOT) on whether the DS leeches / minnows / gobies catch better out of the (red) bag or out of the (green) recharge buckets.

I seemed to whack em last year out of the bags and this year not much. Probably more of a symptom of the lousy river year ? Anyone else ?

Asked Berkley about this and the reply I got from them was that it has a shelf life of 2 to 3 years. Since it is biodegradable, it will start to degrade and fall apart.

2 seasons ago I had a problem with the gulp juice getting cloudy and "moldy".  I don't know what it was, or how it got there but I had a chunky slime form in the can by the end of the season.  I have not had that problem since, and I now store my red bag gulp in the green cans.
