Thanks for all the responses. You all have given me a lot to consider. As for Matt, it is a smaller version of Ultimate bluegill. I think it's 4". And it looks awesome. He posted pics on another forum. Don't think they are available yet, but it is definitely exciting. This is what he said about them: "My new little U2 (Ultimate 2) gills are 4in long and 2 in tall and they sit nose down on the bottom. If a fish knocks them over, they pop back up. They come in a flat tail and a swimming tail. These are more durrable then my previous gills and they are better balanced and run truer and swim better at all speeds." Thanks again.

What's the best small (3" to 5") bluegill swimbait? I prefer a hard bait but definitely would want to hear about soft swimbaits as well. I have Mattlures hard gill and love that bait. Also I have his ultimate bluegill and like that too. Want something just like those two, just a little smaller. I'm also looking at at getting the blackdog mini shellcracker. I also don't really like the tru-tungsten and don't think to highly of the little spros. Is my thinking on these off? So what else should I be considering? Any other swimbaits I should consider fishing in Michigan? Makes and colors??? Thanks!
