Berkley Gulp! Jerk Shad Lures

The Berkley Gulp! Jerk Shad is a soft bait designed to imitate threadfin shad and other slender forage species commonly targeted by saltwater predators. Its high-backed shad profile and compressed body create a natural baitfish silhouette that gamefish readily recognize, making it effective for a wide range of inshore and nearshore applications. Constructed from Berkley’s scent-infused Gulp! material, the bait releases continuous scent dispersion that helps draw fish from greater distances. The flexible body produces an erratic darting motion when twitched or jerked, closely mimicking the movement of a struggling baitfish and triggering aggressive reaction strikes.
