The Berkley Gulp! Saltwater Jerk Shad couples a classic wounded baitfish action with Berkley's legendary Gulp! scented formula to provide a universal appeal to game fish in all inshore waters. The Jerk Shad's long slender body and split tail create an erratic darting action when twitched that will appeal to any predatory game fish you can think of. The Jerk Shad is most effectively deployed on a weighted swimbait hook or jig head, but also excels when fished weightless and twitched across the surface.

Berkley Gulp! Saltwater baits are made from natural ingredients that release 400 times more scent than plastic baits. Specially formulated for ocean game fish, Berkley's Gulp! Saltwater scented formula is so potent it can actually outfish live bait! As an added bonus, all Gulp! Saltwater products are 100% biodegradable for a cleaner environment and healthier fishery.

Berkley Gulp SW jerk shad 6"
May 20, 2022
The Berkley Gulp Jerk Shad just keeps on getting bit when other baits don't. We fish it low & slow on the breakwaters & jetties here on East Coast. Fluke love them and they work with the stripes also. Get yourself some and see - Hang on!
Pros
  • Flounder magnets
Cons
  • not to durable

Go to for fluke

Super simple to rig on a jig head. The darting action of the jerk shad makes it deadly for fluke. But they’re not very durable, sometimes you’ll just have to replace it after one fish cause it’s been torn apart. But I guess that’s a good thing if the fish want it that bad.

Try not to let any of the liquid scent leak into your bag!
Pros
  • Fluke magnet
  • Scented
Cons
  • Expensive
  • Not very durable
  • Stinks

Great for fluke (flounder)
November 7, 2021
These are a bit expensive but they work! This was the first year I started using these from surf to target fluke. Put them on a 3/8 or 1/4 jig head and it is deadly if you know how to work them. I've caught more fluke from shore with these than from my boat and kayak combined using the traditional bucktail/gulp/teaser combo. I loaded up on these for next season as the 6 inch are hard to find in peak fluke season.
Pros
  • Works great on fluke.
  • No cutting or handling bait.
  • Convenient.
Cons
  • Expensive.
  • Not very durable.
  • Stinky juice.

really strong scent works good for redfish. plastic not the most durable
By Kelly

Our favorite saltwater bait
July 20, 2020
The only reason I didn't give this Gulp a 5-star rating is because they seemed to be softer than other Gulps so they don't hold up as long as others. Still our go-to favorite bait!
