Hello everyone, got a question... I ordered a couple MattLures.com bluegill swim baits last week and cannot wait to get them, the fish in my lake primary forage is bluegill, so I am thinking this would be a great bait to throw, any tips on tackle, ( rod, line size ) appreciated and presentation tips... can't wait to get them, hope they get here for this weekend the weather is suppose to be great...

Thanks again,

Brian.....

I throw mine on a 7ft heavy action rod with 40lb braid. Just cast and swim it back  or fish it like a jig bouncing it along the bottom.

Ideally...

a 7'6"-7'11" MH SWIMBAIT rod. (okuma, crucial...etc)

300series round baitcaster (cradiff, calcutta, luna)

20lb  big game, Pline CXX, ultragreen

But any heavy flipping stick will work ok if you have to.

I use mine with a Okuma Guide Select 7'11" Heavy BC rod (rated for 1-6oz) and I use 30lb power pro.

If your looking to buy a rod get the one I mentioned from ***.com. They have free shipping on all orders over 50 bucks, so I get my expensive stuff from there.
