Is that a trick question? :eh: I prefer bluegill colored baits to match bluegills :eyebrows: If you're talking soft plastics Zoom's "green weenie" and Berkley Havocs lime-purple passion imitate juvenile bluegills excellently.

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

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.

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.
