Bluegill Swimbait

[wisturkeyhunter]

Any company (besides storm) make  a real nice realistic bluegill swimbait that weighs under an ounce or maybe slightly more. Its about as heavy as my current setup can handle. Soft or hard don't matter just as long as it looks good in the water and is light enough for me to throw.

His bluegill baits are slightly heavier than I'm looking for. I have 2 of his baby bass and they are about my limit with my heaviest rod.

You are right...my apologies...they are hitting close to 2 oz.

Well the jackall giron i believe weights just under 1 oz. it's a hardbait though if that matters any.I have one of those and i can throw it on my heavy rod.

The Storm swimmin minnows or w/e they look good in bluegil

storms are terrible. stay away from them.

the wild eye live series swims like crap, smells bad, and doesnt even look that realistic (i bought a pack)

the kickin slab series barely swims at all, looks pretty nice though, but the plastic is way too stiff. (i also bought one)

your best bet would be the 4 in jackall giron that weighs in a 3/4oz.

good luck in your quest for a swimbait!  8-)

How about the K's Labo Kiwami Gill (made by Lucky Craft). It weighs 1.5oz. You find this bait on ebay.

I bought some recently and while I wouldn't campare them to a MattLures swim bait I have caught some really nice fish on the sunfish model. You don't always have to have a $30 lure to catch fish. Right now in my area bass are gorging on sunfish/bluegill and the storm sunfish works great!

O well, I catch tons of fish on them, they don't run exactly straight, but what fish in real life does?

you will be able to throw the jackall if you can throw the baby bass (i have both) the jackall has great action, but i might have to try this one t-rig suggested.
