mudball Posted June 14, 2007 Report Posted June 14, 2007 I was asked by my wife and I don't know the answer. I do know that various plastic worms and grubs and such can become a gooey mess in the tackle box. Can we plan to hand down the Gulp! baits to the grandchildren in twenty years? :rolleyes:
Greencoachdog Posted June 14, 2007 Report Posted June 14, 2007 (edited) Plastic is NOT!!! However, the Berkley Gulp and Food Source line of soft baits is bio-degradeble. Gulp is the most famous, plastic baits are injurious to the wildlife that eat them, they cannot digest them and the lodge in the digestive tract and cause illness. http://www.fslures.com/product-info/problem-with-plastic.php Edited June 14, 2007 by Greencoachdog
mepps Posted June 14, 2007 Report Posted June 14, 2007 I cant say enough good things about GULP baits. I left one outside my house to see how long it would take to completely deteriorate, and its still around 2 years later- it is of course muuuch smaller.
mart Posted June 14, 2007 Report Posted June 14, 2007 The downfall to Gulp is they dry up quick. You can't re-use like other soft plastics. Once you rig one up if you let it sit out of water they start to shrink and dry up. The plus side is they are bio-degradable in water which is better for the environment.
