I finally managed to find a male bluegill hardgill cheap enough. Just bought an once-used Hardgill floater plus a new ultimate green sunfish for $46 shipped from ebay.

I'll sell the ultimate BG, because I don't need it. I guess I can make around 20 bucks from it. So an almost new male bluegill hardgill for about 27 dollars? That's a good deal in my book. Now I need to see what the magic is all about.

I felt really bad for the guy who sold it though. I do a little bit of selling on ebay myself, and I know how P-ed off I feel when stuff sells for much less than what it's worth.

Lucky you! I'd love to try the Hardgill but I just can't talk myself into popping for a 50+ dollar swimbait. If I ever find a deal like that for one though you can be sure I'll have it!

I stumbled onto one of these last year. Absolutely fantastic looking bait!

With that said, I need to spend more time throwing it to "tune" it. Seems to me mine would roll onto it's side rather easily.
