TOP 5 Bluegill Sunfish Lures
Спорт
When I lived in Arkansas I lived for the summers and going down to the creek and seeing what kind of fish we could get into and have a different exploring adventure everytime. We would wear fanny packs back then, ha I know and we would load little boxes full of panfish and smallmouth lures. We would go wade and walk and see what lure would produce the most fish and it was a competition between me and some friends everytime we would go. These 5 lures are the lures that we used over a long time of figuring out what the fish would be most likely to hit. Let me know in the comments section if you agree with my selection or if you fish with these lures too.

Rooster tail is my number one go to. I've caught 3 different species in one spot within 30 minutes on the good ol' rooster tail.

Yeah it is hard to beat the roostertail, they can have such a slow retrieve speed and stay in the zone.
Used the red and white crappie jig most my life. One of the best, thanks for the informative video.

YES the best lure imo is the rooster tail! Caught tons of bluegill and even some bass on them. I can't believe you didn't mention a wacky or ned rig! They're another two of my favs that I find work well when the fish aren't being aggressive enough to chase down the rooster tail.

My fav is definitely the crank, love getting that reaction bite, especially since I catch more red breast and green sunfish than bluegill. The swimbait is my fav for multi species, I’ve caught a ridiculous amount of cats on them and a ton of bass, both my pb bass and cat were on swimbaits... my #1 confidence lure... with the Ned rig in second... caught cats and sunfish on those too...

I’ve never even heard of using cranks or jerkbaits for panfish until I watched this.
The panfish magnet kit, the pautzke fireball worms, small curly tails, some hair jigs or feather jigs. Small spoons and spinners. Even small crayfish jigs, like the vmc pro series crayfish jigs or even try Berkley powerbait 3-in floating worms.

All good ones. I haven’t tried the pautzke but you have a good tackle box if your fishing with those.
Everyone has their go to lures but back in the day mine was a Mepps spinner with the silver blade. I have caught every freshwater fish that swims in Georgia, except stripers they weren't here then. For bluegill yellow and black colors are killer.

Those are all big lures. For micro finesse fishing the smaller the better. Tiny curly tail jigs,flies and the fly with spinner blade,the smallest kastmaster,surface popping bugs,the rubber leg ones and my favorite is the super secret hard to find daredevil as big as your fingernail with the double hooks. The knot has to be centered for it to work. Of course there's always bait too. Worms,grubs and cheapest bread balls. Little bits of frozen shrimp are easy. Carry and stay on the hook better than bread. As an elite fishing snob I used to look down on Master baiters but there's something relaxing about watching the bobber or rod tip and waiting patiently versus casting your arm off. Lots of lunkers caught on cut bait or a nightcrawler.

I used all of these and they all work. The one thing that floors me is that crappie will not bite a live worm and bluegill won't bite a live minnow-but I've caught crappie on small plastic worms and bluegill on jigs and other lures designed to look like minnows.

I've caught hundreds of bluegill on night crawlers and also bread crumbs, but throw a lure like these in the water and it goes untouched. I dont know what I'm doing wrong. I want to be able to catch bluegill on lures to avoid having to constantly rebait my hook between catches but I just have never had any luck. Anyone have some advice?
@TBassFactory

If your just getting into artificial small 1/16 or 1/8 oz jig with a small grub is probably one of the best ways to catch them under a bobber. You have to give it little pops and let it sit. Imagine a small minnow slowly darting in the water and throw it near cover and you should have some good luck. I hope that helps bud.

Lightweight lures can be very difficult on a baitcaster. A baitcaster can cast a light lure but if you have a wind and a light lure you are asking for problems. A spinning reel becomes the best option for light lures like a roostertail.
