I just picked up a pack of the Berkley Gulp 2.5" minnow. (emerald shiner) My plan is to use these in place of the crappie minnows I typically use. I was going to try them with a jig under a cork and slow trolling them with a spinner around the weed edges.
Anyone try the minnow?

OH ya ! Gulp in the emerald shuner is the bait that i caught the saugers on down on pool 4 a few weeks ago! if you play with how you hook them i'm shure you can have great luck with them trolling em  :happy1:

Gulp is by far my favorite plastic!

You should check out the chartruese shad.  I had great luck with them last summer, I couldn't even keep them stocked at the bait shop, every time the shipment came in they were out the door that day.

I've used beetle spins set ups and removed the plastic that is on there and replaced with gulp...have had great luck trolling and even just shore fishing with that.

I agree, gulp is the plastic I choos to use. It's great. As said above, play with how you rig it and you should get some good results.

The big pearl white gulps are my choice for using on spinner baits as trailers. Trouble is finding them late in the season and the price keeps going up on them.

I've used Gulp alive with great success and have praised the heck out of it.  I am glad to see other people having luck with it as well!

I kind of figured I'd see more action trolling them with a spinner. I'll have a scoop of crappie minnows with just in case.

I would say on a choppy day they would be fine under a bobber.  I vertical jig these baits alot with success just keep a slight up and down movement.

We used them last fall on crappies and sunnies with great success. Much better than forgetting about the minnow bucket for couple weeks once we got back from a fishing trip.  :puke:

My minnows tend to turn into big, puffy, fuzzy almost marshmellow like when they have been forgotten.  Oh and the smell is one of a kind!  :doah:
