Berkley Gulps pretty much work as advertised. They claim to outfish live bait and a lot of the time they do. The only style I use are the 3" and 4" shrimp in a variety of colors but New Penny is my favorite. The redfish really seem to love this color. Rigged on a 5/0 Marsh Works swimbait hook as pictured above makes them weedless and easy to cast along the mangroves. This is my go-to artificial for reds right now. The only drawback to Gulps is their cost. If you buy them in the smaller packets they're usually $1 a piece. Buy them in the big buckets, which usually run around $40, and you'll get your money's worth.
