New Chrome Colorways for Berkely Gulp!

Berkley’s lineup of revolutionary Gulp! saltwater soft baits now gets better. Berkley Gulp! upgraded four of their classic shapes with game-changing chrome colorways, making this bait even more life-like and enticing to fish.

Backed by science and proven to create 400 times more scent dispersion than the competition, Berkley’s proprietary Gulp! scent technology is infused into the core of each bait. The expanded colors represent another step forward in the evolution of Gulp!, as most saltwater baitfish exhibit some silver hue that flashes with the sun’s reflection. Chrome Gulp! mimics this trait with metallic tones that are available in four essential Gulp! bait shapes - Paddletail, Shrimp, Swimming Mullet, and Jerkshad and the new color offering includes chrome, fool’s gold, green chrome, purple chrome, and red chrome colors.

Saltwater anglers can find the perfect fit for any inshore species with even more color options. The combination of the Gulp! infused scent and flavor, proven swimming movement, and now these new life-like Chrome colors will ensure big-fish strikes under all conditions.

Frabill’s New Rechargeable Aerator

The new Frabill ReCharge Deluxe Aerator continues the tradition of bringing new innovative products to anglers. The Frabill ReCharge Deluxe Aerator is a mobile livewell aeration system with an induction motor that provides time-after-time use to keep bait lively.

Outfitted with a rechargeable lithium battery, the ReCharge Deluxe Aerator can be conveniently recharged with the included 10V adaptor or through a USB cable.

A water-resistant gasket designed with an anti-back flow check valve keeps water out and bait alive longer.  The universal hang-on clip with stability posts allows anglers to bring it on fly-in trips, shore fishing, or on any boat.  Now a bucket or nearly any waterproof container can become a viable minnow bucket.
