Bluegill will hit anything that you throw at some point in time....

Around here if they are on their beds they will go after just about anything that moves near them.

My favorite Bluegill bait is actually a fly. Its a small green/yellow frog popper. Bluegills on a 3wt or 4wt fly rod is a fun fight!

Smart man! I used to have a TFO Professional I series 8'6 fast action 3wt that I could cast roughly 70 feet before leader. Try catching a gill that far out on a 3wt! What a ball.

I regrettably sold it, but I am filling that hole with a new St. Croix Legend Ultra 8'6 4wt.

2 words...Beetle Spin. I've caught more bluegill on these little guys than any other lures I've ever used. They will work on crappie and bass as well. 

ive caught them fishing for bass with bass lures of all sizes...there is a lake about a mile or so from me that they are very aggressive in so we used to throw top water yozuri baits and catch them...they are excellent snook bait
