Nkybassfisherman Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Whats your all's favortite color you throw to match bluegill? Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted September 17, 2012 Global Moderator Posted September 17, 2012 Is that a trick question? I prefer bluegill colored baits to match bluegills If you're talking soft plastics Zoom's "green weenie" and Berkley Havocs lime-purple passion imitate juvenile bluegills excellently. Quote
Nkybassfisherman Posted September 17, 2012 Author Posted September 17, 2012 Yes plastics. Come on now I'm not that dumb! lol Quote
Super User J Francho Posted September 17, 2012 Super User Posted September 17, 2012 Senkos, black w/ blue flake or smoke w/ purple flake. Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted September 17, 2012 Super User Posted September 17, 2012 Mattlures Ultimate Bluegill. I would have said hardgill, but you wanted plastics. Quote
Super User retiredbosn Posted September 17, 2012 Super User Posted September 17, 2012 What the others have said but I dip the tail in chartreuse dye scent. I still remember the first time I wore polarized lenses and how the gill's tail glowed now every time I throw something to imitate a gill it has a chartreuse tail. I'll even replace the rear hook on a crankbait to white feather and dye it chartreuse Quote
mikey5string Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 I use a 3/8oz tungsten weight pegged, bluegill pattern skirt with a "swimming" trailer on a 4/0 EWG worm hook. I like the lake fork hyper worm in black/blue, the havoc pit boss in lime/pink, blue rage craws, or grubs. I can flip/pitch this in grass, hop it on the bottom or swim it depending on what the fish want. I really love this setup because of its versatility. I can change skirt color and trailer without retying so going from a brown craw to a bluegill to a shad is quick and easy. Also can fish it on the bottom, in grass, or swim it mid-depth. Can also remove the weight peg to make a standard t-rig, or slide it up the line to make a carolina rig. remove the skirt and fish a worm or a fluke.... Lots of possibilities. Thats more than you asked but I thought Id mention it because it makes it easier to change the color/action without tying on different baits. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted September 18, 2012 Super User Posted September 18, 2012 Any color. Bluegills are pretty colorfull, and I have never had a problem catching bass that feed on bluegills with baits that look nothing like a bluegill. Quote
cadman Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Here are my bluegill colors jig and trailer. Works everytime. Quote
Vinny Chase Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 NorthStar "New Gill" Swim Jig or Flip & Swim I also like to throw paddletail swimbaits as a trailer or on a weighted ewg hook. Quote
