Mitchduh Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 Looking at getting into the swimbait game this year! Shore fish alot so I found a 74H SB poison adrena, something that's not too long. Live in iowa and bluegill are main forage. What are some nice lures yall like throwing, maybe some that arent super costly? Thanks for looking and Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SumoNinja Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 Mattlures, huddleston, savage gear, ganterals All those brands have less costly gill baits that are proven baits El_Weruso 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5150KokaneeEaters Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 Matt lures hard gills!!! 3:16 5” bluegill line through is a killer or even the rising suns in the bluegill pattern. MillerDaPikeKiller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_264 Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 One thing you have to look out for on the hard bluegill baits is that it’s a hard shape for bass to eat so the profile of like a jackal gigantarel is a much better slim bluegill profile. surfk9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chefchris Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 Real prey bluegill and the burrito gill are awesome soft bait options the real preys are easy to get, custom colors and sink rates and $25 the burritos are nice but hard to get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKNNH Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 The Jackall Ganterals are great baits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchduh Posted February 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Thanks for all the feedback guys! I have a Gantarel Jr. Looking into getting the regular size too. The real prey looks interesting as well! I have one other question. I know it's all about matching the hatch, but how many of you throw trout baits in bodies of water that dont have trout before? I've heard it works sometimes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bass is a bass anywhere and they still have a predatory response to eat a smaller fish. I’m from pa but working in Florida for the winter, these FL bass don’t seem to mind getting a taste of some trout! Luke_264 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyTheGreek815 Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 MDC swimbaits makes a great bluegill profile wakebait. It's like a slightly bigger version of a shellcracker and you can work it painstakingly slow on top, or you can burn it. One of my all time favs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think he will say, "that does not seem right" and let it pass by? It will eat it for sure. At worst it will eat it than spit it out.
