KeepinItReelFishing Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) If this lure could enlist, it would be a kick-ass Marine saying to the biggest bass in the lake, "COME GET SOME!!". Seriously, this extra large new bluegill swimbait from Mattlures is no joke. Known for making exceedingly realistic swimbaits, Mattlures now offers a larger and more durable version of their much sought after and highly successful Hardgill swimbait. Coming in at a full 7" in length and weighing 4 oz, the Magnum Strong Gill is a seriously large bluegill lure. The detail is outstanding and the construction as robust as they come. This is a lure for those who are focused on pursuing trophy size fish and what better way then by offering them a giant version of one of their favorite prey fish...the bluegill. The swimming action is smooth, and yet also has a motion which implies injury or evasive/fleeing action. In a word this lure THUMPS. The immense pulse you feel through your rod when using it assures you that any fish in the area are aware of this lure. I see this also being a fantastic night fishing lure. I found no deficiencies or issues with the MAGNUM Gill during testing. If you are a fan of the smaller Hardgill, or hard bluegill swimbaits in general you are now looking at the king within that category. The MAGNUM does not come cheap with a price tag direct from the manufacturer of $110.00. That may be a non-starter to lots of anglers, but bear in mind these are hand crafted, hand painted, small production lures made here in the USA. In addition the detail is uncompromising and near taxidermy quality. I can fully recommend the MAGNUM Strong Gill as the finest hardbody jointed bluegill swimbait I have used to date. -Carl / KeepinItReel Fishing Edited August 7, 2017 by KeepinItReelFishing fishnchips35, gznuts, RyanPerrey and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
