The colors of bluegills seem to vary with the location they are caught in. Baby bluegills seem to have a little different color pattern than the adults.

 

Will exactly matching the color patterns of the smaller bluegills in your area? If you think it will help, then absolutely! Confidence is key. Comfidence equals concentration which equates to more bass.

I expect custom making your own to match your bluegills is the best option, but if you're lazy like I am, check out JannsNetcraft.com.

I notice that the site does not show all the colors, but what you want are the HD skirts on this page:  http://www.jannsnetcraft.com/silicone-skirts/360733.aspx#

 

Ask Jann's to send a hard copy catalogue; it's one every fisherman should have.

 

They have three skirts in this group that are called bluegill, the 092 Bluegill, the 165 Baby Bluegill, and the 738 Bull Bluegill.  The first is truest to the bluegills I see around here, the baby is a little paler, and the bull is brighter, with some orange turning to yellow/gold strands along the bottom.  There is also a pretty bright 090 pumpkinseed and 788 Sunfish.

 

These are really nice skirts, $3.79 for 5.  They are the quick change type like the Terminator design, so they are easy to use, they stay in position on the spinnerbait better than any rubber ring type skirt I've seen.
