Who makes the best bluegill color for bass fishing

 

 I saw some Kopplers and they look like a contender

 

 What do you guys think?

 

 Thanks

What type of lure? There's some swimbaits out there that look just about like the real thing.

IMHO, those fantastic looking, super realistic, paint jobs, catch the crap out of....................fisherman. The dumb old bass around here will bite a crank bait with a bluegill pattern on the sides of it drawn by my 4 year old kid, just as much as they will those fancy ones. If they ain't biting cranks, they ain't biting them....a $20 lure isn't going to help you much there.

  Im willing to trying out some of the real looking thing Arv

I don't have any experience with swimbaits, but the mattlures gill baits usually get good reviews.

I bought a koppers live target crankbait when I first started not knowing better but I like the rapala bluegill color baits they work great and the mattlures bluegill swimbait is beautiful and will catch some big bass from what I have seen but haven't fished it myself

Strike King has a natural pumpkinseed color that tears the fish up for me in the 1.5 size. It's about as realistic as you can get for a bait in the $5 range. The natural bream is a really good bluegill imitation also.

They'll deliver straight to your house too. They aren't the only place that carries Strike King cranks either, they're just a site sponser so I could post up the link.

Not knowing better? I personally can't find anything negative about them, and I found the fish tend to agree with me, especially in clear water  :Victory:

i use the live target bluegill and it catches fish

I have not had any luck with them I have thrown it for a while I just figure there are other crankbaits that will work just as well like a rapala
