Weld's Largemouth Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 Hey all! Does anybody know any good soft plastics that mimic a bluegill and have a slow sink time and mimic a dying bluegill on the drop? Something similar to this but a bluegill: http://www.***.com/Gitzit_Dying_Shad/descpage-GZDSH.html Thanks Welds Quote
Jay Ell Gee Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 I would use a Rage Tail Shellcracker or even a Big Bite Baits Warmouth. Rig them "rage rigged" on a lightly keel weighted swim bait hook sideways (flat) and go to work. Late summer through early winter will be a good time for this, as the bluegill spawn is in early summer and their fry will reach 2-3 inches by then. I flip and pitch them near grass beds or lay downs where they would likely hide. Only ones I can think of at the moment. 1 Quote

Super User ChrisD46 Posted August 8, 2014 Super User Posted August 8, 2014 I would throw a beaver style bait in green pumpkin , green and purple flake on a on about a 3/0 EWG hook on 8lb flurocarbon ... cast out , let it slowly sink and twitch it every 3 ~ 4 seconds until it hits bottom - then dead stick it for 30 seconds ...Repeat as needed . 1 Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted August 8, 2014 Super User Posted August 8, 2014 I like the rage tail shell cracker. Am I the only one who thinks "bumping" is rude? 1 Quote

Jay Ell Gee Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 A beaver style bait in sprayed grass is also a great suggestion. Good luck man. Quote
