Found my gulp packets are hard to seal so they usually leak. They leak in the Berkley pouches which are a waste of time, and the plastics bags in the pouches useless if your always in a hurry ... So i found a packet of gulp in my bag that was stored in the shed in the shade and it had none of the colonels secret sauce left. The baits were still soft. So i thought bugger it ill empty all the other baits into a Tupperware container and keep them out of the sun and see how they do. Well 2 weeks have passed and they are sweet as. Having them all together in the 1 box is sweet ,i open it up grab what i need and the lid seals easy every time. I do keep it in the shade tho, the sun may dry them out. May be a container that's not see thru would be better time will tell. Also thinking bout throwing in the other non scented brands into the secret sauce as well.. Any one got any thoughts or see any potential problems with this fire away....

Storing Gulp in food storage containers is fine. I keep mine in the fridge at home, chilly bin on the boat. Mixing Gulp with non-Gulp is asking for trouble, plus what do you hope to achieve? Most non-Gulp softbaits are made of plastic and will not absorb water-based scents.

I pulled my laundry apart trying to find what was stinkin the place out ( blame the cat .....he brings mice in and hides them  )Wasnt till I moved my fishing bag ......yep , a bag of gulp crayfish baits had leaked the sauce out ........#ark it stunk , Ha  the irony being that I havnt caught a damn thing on them.
I got some 4oz clear plastic bottles  , and I transfer the gulp to one of these after I open the packet .
