Storm Lures

If you want a good bluegill swimbait that does not cost a fortune try the Black Dog G2 shell cracker.

Also, LC Kelly J in Sunfish or Ghost Baby Bluegill.

Well to start I ended up getting these lures.. From left to right.

1. Jackall Iobee Frog - Bluegill

2. LIVETARGET Bluegill Squarebill Crankbaits

3. Bandit Crankbaits - 100 Series - Bluegill

Sweet let us knows what works the most sufficient.

Hi

We have absolutely killed the larger bass in our fishing hole with the Storm bulegill swimbait and the Storm Crappie swimbait.

Today the Bass and Northern Pike were just crazy over the bluegill.

We caught 6 Bass over 4pounds, 12 bass over 3 pounds, and a bunch of ones we didnt weigh.

Northerns, 2 over 7 pounds, and 3 over 4 pounds.....I went through two 3 packs of the lures but it was worth every bit of it.

Here is what we were using:

Mattlures Hard Gill.

My choice as well.

I've never used swimbaits before. Might have to be a whole new adventure for me this summer =0)

I have the same question but instead of bluegill they are eating tilapia

i like the strike king kvd swim jig in bluegill with a rage chunck myself

Dirty Jigs Gil Swim Jig

I'm very tempted to spend the $60 on one. Do you use the baby hard gill or the full size? The average bass out of my lake is between 2-3lb. Unfortunately almost everything is sold out.

swimjig and cranks are much easier/cheaper and you should have just as much success as hard swimbaits. if you do decide to drop the money on higher end hard baits make sure you have the right rod/line set up and learn how to cast the heavier weight properly w/o a back lash. nothing worse than the sound of a backlash followed by the "crack" of ur line snapping (aka use mono; i had braid with mono leader but braid cuts itself in backlash) followed by the "PLOP" of ur lure sinking to the bottom of the lake. also recommend casting hard baits from a boat/canoe/kayak b/c you can paddle over and use lure knocker to un-snag them. then you won't be faced with the question "do i want to take a $60 swim today?"

I would try a swim jig. 1/4 oz with a 5" single, curlytail trailer. The trailer will have plenty of resistance to fish nice and slow, and the fall will be slow enough to fish over those weeds.
