Lj17luke Posted April 17, 2021 Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) I am thinking about picking one of these baits up. The lakes around me got the size of gills to match the size. If anyone has any experience good, bad, or other with this bait it would be very appreciated. Edited April 17, 2021 by Lj17luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVT THUNDER Posted April 17, 2021 Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) I’ve wanted one for years. I pre ordered one. Here’s a swim video of the Godzilla and a Toxic and one of Matt’s Hardgills. Swim is awesome.

I’m thinking about doing the same I’m just worried about the hook up percentage with a bait being that thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got baits that are thicker. Zero issues. The size bass I’ve caught on huge profile baits have no problems eating them. Usually head first.

In my experience the fish you miss with larger profile bluegill baits are usually smaller fish that are somewhat territorial and aggressive. The larger fish (5lbs and up) don’t have any kind of problem eating them. BASS_SWINGER and Lj17luke 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
