Berkley Fishing Debuts Two New Gulp! Saltwater Shrimp Shapes
Eugene L. 03.28.25

Berkley Fishing has brought out a couple of new shrimp imitations to its Gulp! Saltwater Shrimp soft plastics line. The new Berkley Gulp! Saltwater Turbo Shrimp and the Berkley Gulp! Saltwater Nemesis Prawn Curl Tail have been both engineered for excellent action at any retrieve speed or style while still having the tried and true superior scent dispersion you come to expect of any Gulp Shrimp.
The Gulp! Saltwater Turbo Shrimp is Berkley’s next step when it comes to Gulp Shrimp imitations. Made to draw in fish and spread scent through the water, the Turbo Shrimp features a unique leg design that oscillates back and forth as it goes through the water. This imitates the movements and vibration of a swimming live shrimp. Add in the Gulp! scent formula, and you have an inshore slam dunk of a bait. These are available in 11 color patterns and three sizes.
Next up is the Gulp! Saltwater Nemesis Prawn Curl Tail, a Gulp shrimp imitation with a more subtle action but the same max scent dispersion tech. These shrimp have a tuned reverse curl tail that gives the bait a lifelike flutter even with super-slow retrieve speeds. The head is heavily spiked, and the body is faceted for added turbulence in the water, helping to spread more of the Gulp! scent. These baits are available in eight color patterns and two sizes. Be it on the grass flats, mangroves, or back country bayous, both of these Gulp shrimp are a great addition to an inshore angler’s arsenal.
“The Gulp! Saltwater Turbo Shrimp and Nemesis Prawn Curl Tail are something we have been working on for a long time and can’t wait for people to get their hands on,” said Will Pate, Berkley Saltwater Product Manager. “We are super excited to keep expanding the Gulp! Saltwater line-up, and this is just the beginning.”
