A mate of mine dries his softbait after use before putting back into his gulp tub,Ive never bothered doing this and was wondering if any one else does this.seemed a bit over the top to me but he reckons the saltwater affects the juice in the tub.any thoughts.
cheers garry.

I just biff the used ones in the bin. No issues with **** getting contaminated and going off then. But I've got 5 (or is it 6?
 ) Gulp! Alive tubs chocker with Gulp! from packets and Gulp! Alive so there's no chance I'm going to run out soon anyway ------------- What's the cheapest type of meat? Dear balls. They're under a buck. |

Just put them back in the gulp liquid, thats what it is for. They will last and the gulp liquid doesn't go off at all.
I have had some containers for well over a year - just add some more out of the empty containers. (Empty of lures.) Suspect if you have had a problem it's because the container is on an angle and there are lures out of the liquid, sum shining onto them probably doesn't help either. ------------- One more Kingie |
