BiggerWorm Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 These baits seem like they would be killer on the spawning beds. For those of you who are fishing them deeper, are you adding weight? Quote
Lightninrod Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 These baits seem like they would be killer on the spawning beds. For those of you who are fishing them deeper, are you adding weight? Matt's Bluegills do not need extra weight. And yes, they make great bed baits: Quote
Davis Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 What setup should this be fished on? Medium heavy or Heavy? Quote
Super User fourbizz Posted January 4, 2008 Super User Posted January 4, 2008 medium heavy swimbait rod or a very heavy flippin stick Quote
Super User Jimzee Posted January 4, 2008 Super User Posted January 4, 2008 Man those things look awesome in the water nose down like that. Thanks for posting the pic Dan. That was the clincher! I got to get me some of these things. I would have a ball with these on the lake I fish. Plenty of bass big enough to eat that bait. Quote
Randall Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 These baits seem like they would be killer on the spawning beds. For those of you who are fishing them deeper, are you adding weight? I don't add weight often but if you need to add weight you can stick some lead nail weights or smaller mojo type weights in the bait and glue the holeback shut. One of the big fish that Doghouse caught in the photos came after a jig bite shut off in the winter in cold water. So, before he moved to another spot he let the bluegill fall all the way to the bottom and was fishing it like a jig real slow in 16 feet of water letting it just sit on the bottom. Before he even knew he had a bite the fish had swam off with the bait and almost swallowed it. It works great as a jig in the winter and I have also caught fish by pitching it to stumps like a jig.

flippincrazy Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 I just got mine today in the mail, they are awesome lookng. Does anyone use a trailor hook on the bottom for any application? It just seems like you could miss some fish with that small hook. Quote
Super User Alpster Posted January 12, 2008 Super User Posted January 12, 2008 I just got 1/2 dozen in the mail this past week to use at Guntersville. These are awesome looking baits. Ronnie Quote
