Has anyone ever used these and are they any good? What species do they work on? KMart have them at almost half price ($16).
They look rather tasty.

Good and bad things about the Gulp Alive Shrimps.
Good:
All are very straight, very few bent tails which shrimps are notorious for.
At that price a bargain!
Bad:
The new Gulp Shrimps (in the packet) are much softer.
Gulp Alive Shrimps are in old colours.
Personally, molting is not my favourite colour. My top three are Nuclear Chicken, Mango Ripple and New Penny but I'm looking forward to using some of the new colours like Banana Prawn. :biggrin:

What's the bream in my avatar caught on? :biggrin: It's a small fish though, but I liked the shot. :icon_smile_wink:
I've gotten my hands on some Banana Prawns, but not Salt & Pepper. In fact I haven't even seen the Salt & Pepper colour. :bablefish:

what oz weight do you mean?
cheers
that depends on depth, current & wind, but 1/16th would be a good starting point.
normally try to keep it as light as possible but still having control over the line so it doesn't belly too much or you won't see the bites.
