Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

I slip bobber fish almost 95% of the time. I've had this rig for 7 or 8 years. A BPS 6' IM8 light action rod, with a Mitchell 308X reel. I use 4lb. Trilene most of the time. I've caught a lot of Bluegill with it.

I really like the spider wire stealth braid in bright yellow 8# test 1.5# test mono diameter.

Ken, what kind of braid and weight are you using for bluegill? I may have to give it a try.

Comment by Slip Sinker on September 26, 2013 at 6:44pm
mike if you fish in timber you have to give braid a try
Comment by Mike Martin on September 26, 2013 at 12:16pm

Yep Dick your right. I fish in timber a lot of the time so I normally cut off the last 6' before I go and re-tie. Looks like it's time to re-spool:)

Mike you might want to add some more line to the reel it looks like it could be a little shy there buddy. I also have a couple Mitchell's oldies but goodies.

Love the mitchell line of reels I gave my father one as a gift 35 years ago and I have now inherited and retired it... still works perfectly

Slip bobber fishing has been my mainstay now for a few months after reaggrivating pinched nerves in my neck and arms ... i was surprised how productive it this technique is after casting baits all these years.

Darn... you should of opened your bait box so we could of stole a few tips.

Thanks for sharing

When spin fishing, that sort of thing is my go-to.

For serious casting of really light baits, I go to a 7' spin-fly rod. But for most other bluegill spinning chores, that sort of thing gets the nod.

SIMPLE LOOKING RIG MIKE !!!!!! IF it produces it's as good as it gets !!!!!!!!! HOw you like the Mitchell reel anyway?

Very cool set up. I need to try this - would really work over the "tire reefs @ Lake Perris.

Simplicity at its finest. No one dares to argue with you on a layout like this. I wish I can say the same for my rigs.
