Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

After reading an article in an older fishing magazine about carving your own baits for Bluegill, I decided to try it. This tiny baby bass really gets slammed by all kinds of fish. In fact, this is about the 5th one I've made because the fish tear it apart! (I'm not sure, but I may have posted this pic before)

very nice and a great paint job I didn't need to read the comment to tell it was baby bass. what kind of wood do you like to use? what do you use for a topcoat?

Cool little bait Jeff...definitely could see the gills abusing it!

I remember you posting this in the past, Jeff.

And my vote is also in for a tutorial. I'd like to get some idea of the method of use and the hardware used in contruction. I've carved a few "flatfish" clones, so this is right up my alley.

thats really cool, you gotta do a tutorial, or is there a link to one somewhere?

Comment by Dwayne Denison on February 18, 2013 at 12:47pm
