Sungill Color

Featured Replies

I have seen several posts about the Sungill color on swim baits being very good. Has anybody tried other soft plastics like worms or creature baits in this color? Is it worth trying? Just wondering before I try another new color.

I use it on stickbaits in pads. Only light color I use. My dark colors are varied.

I haven’t tried any other baits in that colour yet, but the Berkley Power Swimmer in sungill has been killer for big pike this spring for me, as well as a bunch of out of season pre spawn smallmouth incidentally caught while pike fishing.

I use a Sungill colored Zoom Ultra Vibe Speed Craw as a trailer on a bream colored swim jig and have found it quite effective. I fished Toledo Bend and Sam Rayburn last week and this combination was my most effective bait.

I use a zoom fluke in sungill on the back of a chatterbait

 

I’ve got probably 20 packs of sungill keitechs in my garage in various sizes, by a long shot my favorite color. Also my favorite color for flukes. I can’t seem to find that same pattern in bigger swimbaits, biggest one keitech makes is the 4.8. I’ve contacted them multiple times to see if I could custom order some 6.8 and 7.8’s in sungill but never heard back. Anyone have any recommendations for bigger swimbaits in that color? I’ve thrown the mega bass mag draft freestyle in the perch color and caught fish but the action of the bait just isn’t there compared to a keitech. Let me know what you guys have tried, always looking for new baits to try

If you Search worlds worst fishing sunGil color on YouTube there’s a video of what you want. If you contact that guy and send him a picture of your exact color he’ll make it for you if he has the mold in your size. Not expensive either. Good luck

I also have a pack of sungill Zoom Super Flukes. Last summer I had a lot of success in my subdivision pond using the Bluegill Flash color, which I can't find in person at any of my local stores and usually have to order online. Based on the success of this color, and the fact that baby bluegill are likely the predominant forage in this pond, one time while looking for Bluegill Flash in a store I found the Sungill flukes and got them, thinking they should work just as well if not better. I only fished them once but didn't seem to have any luck on them. However, intuitively they should work well, that seemed to make so much sense that I also picked up some Sungill color 6th Sense Divine Swimbaits when they were on sale little while back. I probably need to give them another chance.

Yes, Sungill can represent many things such as perch and bluegill, I like taking sungill colored worms and dipping them in spike it to get that tail action of a bluegill. I even have some sungill colored chatterbaits I pair with the sungill keitechs. 

 

 

If Sunfish are in your bodies of water try it out!!
