Questions on the Mattlures Gills

Featured Replies

While looking at my previous forum thread i got interested in one of the suggested lures. The Mattlures Gulls.

I heard about the Mattlures Gills but i heard there Durability is So bad that its just bad. Im not spending 19$ for a swimbait that just Gets destroyed so easily. Im planning to get The U2 bluegill over the ultimite Variant. Is there any tips or tricks that will prevent me throwing away 19$ in the lake.

Durability is fine with these and Hudds.  It's not like something delicate, like senkos.  Get some Mend-It, and you can repair any splits that may occur.  You should be able to get many fish out of a single bait.

I imagine when you catch a bass thats about 6 lbs+ you'll forget all about that 19 dollars. If you go through life listening to everybody else and not making your own oppinions from your own experiences, you will miss out on a lot.

But thats no garantee that i will get a 6 pounder on it. I heard and read that like 1-2 pounders can destroy it completely.

If you're so worried about it, why not just throw jigs.  A good wire tied jig lasts for ever.

No guarantees in life at all. Don't know unless you try.. Mattlures products are winners for sure. 

Best tip for not throwing $19+ into the lake is a good strong knot and some mend it glue.

Mend it, and make sure to use something to grease the bait up like Megastrike, that keeps the fish's teeth from starting tiny tears in the bait that just get worse.
