Gulps

[Joshaldo44]

Hey guys have bought some packets of gulp and I opened one this morning and later today I have noticed the juice has leaked out of the packet even though it was sealed. Will they go dry if I leave them? Should I put them in with another packet of gulp? Is it normal for gulp to leak like that when packet is sealed? Any way to stop it? Have put 2 of the packets into a sandwhich bag. Anyone have any luck with this?

Cheers

Heya josh...Get snap lock containers or containers with screw on lids especially if you buy packet lures..then it holds all the juices in.

refer a few threads back Who doesn't like gulp (http://www.ausfish.com.au/vforum/showthread.php?181206-Who-doesn-t-like-gulp)

Ok, anyone have any airtight containers they can recommend?

[chop]

a soft plastic wallet does the job. About 10 bags with seals in a fabric zip up just put your gulp packets in the bag. Or just buy some zip lock bags from the supermarket.

[Joshaldo44]

Ok, good idea, thanks mate. I have some zip lock bags from supermarket, can you just buy the folder to put them in or do you need to buy the whole thing?

woolworths/coles screw top food storage jar,will last for years and is leak proof/air tight.
around $5

Mate dump all your gulps with the juice in one of these containers :thumbsup:



cheers tim :)

Thanks guys, I will grab the Klip it container.. You guys are legends.. Now the hard part, catching fish

[Joshaldo44]

Hey mate grabbed the exact same container and unfortunately it still leaks. Is there another alternative, what do you guys do to stop the leaking?

[TimD]

If you keep them upright they are pretty much leakproof, you might have trouble finding a container that is totally leakproof.


cheers tim :)

i picked up some soft plastics allready in a screw top plastic jar and they do not leak.
good luck Hilly.

[Joshaldo44]

No worries, will try keep them upright. Any storage tips for keeping them upright while in boat? Don't think gulp juice all through the boat would be very nice haha

[TimD]

To keep the containers of gulp upright in the boat store them in one of these storage boxes. You will fit plenty of containers of gulps in there plus other bits and pieces.


cheers tim :)

I have jars of gulp alive ( in the screw jars- $19-95 at Big W- not $29 as at many other stores )- all my gulps end up in there. Stored generally by size and up right.- no probs with leakage or drying out. Did buy one of those gulp special containers - waste of money - leaks.

Plano Liqua-bait bottle works pretty well for me

[Joshaldo44]

That looks awesome. Any leakage at all? How much does it hold?

[004dam]

^^ thats what I use, cost about 7$ and works so well with no leakage. I have about 6-7 packs in mine probably fit about 10 in there if your using the smaller plastics.

upside down-sideways-100 kms an hour-at my mummas house
dont matter- it wont leak.

[TimD]

The Plano liqua-bait bottles look decent, how many 7" gulps or 6" gulp grubs would you fit in them ?


cheers tim :)

i have used the gulp tubs and the plano liqua bait lockers and found them both wanting. neither of them are uv rated and after time in the sun can become brittle, crack and subsequently leak. i no longer use gulps very often but if i did i would use one of those screw top flare containers. they are uv rated and definately leakproof and would hold a heap of baits.

hahaha if they last 6-12 months for $7 who gives a sh*t if they break from sun damage ;D


cheers tim :)

[netmaker]

not the dough tim. its where the tub is when it breaks thats the pain in the ass. definately not a good thing in the dry box.
