Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Low water and shallow ? Very slow retrieve with pauses creating wake similar to a Jitterbug . The rod held high after long cast to keep the lure on top or just under surface lowering rod tip gradually as it approaches you. Keep the lure and line straight to your rod tip and reel without slack for hook setting control.
Far Right :Rapala J-11 4,1/4" Floater, Storm with Rattle ,3,3/4" jointed Plug; Left Column: J-9 ,3,1/4"Rapala floaters.All Rapalas old FINLAND models.

Thanks Carl! Do you happen to know the History of the RAPALA Co. ?These Raps are made in Finland (Embossed on lip) I have some made in Ireland that are more recent . Where are they made now and how many different countries were they distributed through the years? I am wondering .
