What are your favorite squarebill crankbaits? Looking to add a few more bluegill colored squarebills to the tackle box

I usually just use the strike king squarebills, they have a pretty good variety of bluegill colors.

I feel a "mastering a new technique this year" thread coming....

Same here

There are a bunch of great squarbill baits available but one sticks out for me, 6th Sense Crush 50 and Crush 100. You can loose you’re mind picking a pattern though.

I've had good success with the bluegill colored squarebill from Academy.

I really like the Crush 50X squarebills by 6th Sense. I think mine is Clown Gill. It dives quickly but rises quickly, too. I’ve gotten strikes on pauses as it floats up. 
 

Great baits.

I usually use bluegill color. I like KVD squarebill cranks. I’ve caught so many with them only ones I use. I use them mainly on brush, rock rip raft, or open water. I even use the big ones when the bite is good. Usually the bigger squarebill gets bigger fish.. I’ve caught a 8 lb walleye and a 1 1/2 pound crappie on it. They catch fish. Also like perch color.

 

Yo-Zuri offers their 3DB in Prism Bluegill and you can't beat Live Target for realistic looking baits. They also offer a pumpkin seed one,

6th Sense Crush 50X is a great bait that comes in a RIDICULOUS amount of bluegill colors.

I'm sorry, but Uncle Frank is good people and I love him on BTL, but he is no artist. Lure eye candy to people is probably different than eye candy to a bass, but d**n, you can't tell me that his work makes you want to go buy one of his paint jobs, unless you have vested interest in it.

Purchased this color tonight at my local BPS.  I’m surprised that I never purchased it before.

For a bluegill color I like the Rapala pictured above. Another would be the Secret Gill color from Megabass. 

Yozuri & Rapala for me.

6th Sense bluegill colors have always worked well for me.
