5 Best Lures for PANFISH!! Bluegill Cant Resist Them!!

[@MarkVincent-h7q]

Came across your video by coincidence...made me giggle. I'm an Ol' Fart, compliment really, 'cause only the new farts stink. When I introduced my grandson to fishin' with his OWN pole and his OWN "stuff", 'bout 6 years ago, he was 5. I handed him a little tackle box, clip on the belt kind and a 5'9", used to be 6' pole...had 6# Walmart line. The tackle box LITERALLY had exactly the 5 baits you recommended. The boy started gettin' but from the git go...and he be fishin' ever since. Thanks a bunch for the video, if people would follow your recommendations, they'll be fishin' and catchin' ... Tight lines young man, God bless.

[@TBassFactory]

I appreciate your comment more than you know. I’m your grandson because that’s how I was taught. Cane pole and worms digging in the dirt and wading creeks and fishing with lures that have stood the test of time. So many new lures out there and so many people seem to forget what the same lures are being sold since before they were born. Thank ya bud your a good man for teaching your grandson and passing it on

[@donhubbard2429]

The best thing I have personally found is a beetle spin with a 1/16 red head, Chartreuse and black body. Split tail or straight tail. I take the spinning apparatus off. You then take a large needle, a white spinner bait skirt and thread two separate strands of white skirt and thread them on. This will give the lures two legs on each side.Trim them to desired length. Any similar plastic lure will work but the beetle spin plastic holds up way longer than anything else I’ve found. They can’t resist those dangling spider legs. Good Luck.

[@TBassFactory]

That’s awesome Don what you did to the beetlespin. I bet that catches them. I like it.

[@donhubbard2429]

We used the spinners other times but in low wind 1/32 on a spider is killer. In the wind and a little deeper water I sometimes throw 1/16.

[@Thereal_plate]

Ok thanks I’m going bluegill fishing today and this helped me out a lot

[@TBassFactory]

Yes sir! Your welcome! I hope you catch them!

[@silverseen8300]

Thank dude! U threw in a lot of helpful tips, I appreciate it!

You’re welcome bud!

[@scots2129]

Love the crick hopper

[@TBassFactory]

I do too. I’m the summer it Is really hard to beat

[@how3fish]

My buddies and I have used rooster tails as our go to lure for trout for 40 years. Great video

[@TBassFactory]

Yes! They are hard to beat

[@Gary-k9h]

2lb test, green or dark blue filament, ultralite bobbers, and a artificial white or dark tail, a crappie minnow on the tail hook. Real in slow to fast and variate the draw. To me, a Blue Gill, or Largemouth are the best eating lake fish. The greatest fun I have had fishing is taking kids under 11 or 12 and put them on panfish. I still have great memories of my son and daughter pulling in their first sunnies and crappies, the giggles from my daughter and the look of pride from my son, cannot be replaced. TAKE YOUR KIDS FISHING.

[@TBassFactory]

Yes! I love absolutely everything you said. Take kids fishing and creat those memories they are priceless

[@stefanbertasz4690]

For kids put any of these with either a weighted bobber or those bobbers you can fill with water. Then just have them real in slow or twitch it. They'll still catch fish but it's easier to cast. Great vid!

[@fightinglynxxsurvival]

I learned how to creek fish about 2 yrs ago. I've caught so many fish on that fire tiger spinner It's probably my favorite. Bass factory is always on point 😎

[@TBassFactory]

Oh yeah! It’s hard to go wrong with that fire tiger. That color is by far my favorite too.

[@fightinglynxxsurvival]

@@TBassFactory You hipped Me to that. When I had my old account. Alvin is still around 😁, but now I know how to fish these creeks around San Antonio 😅

[@marlonb.8243]

Those topwater grasshoppers are great.

[@b.j.harris9109]

Can't go wrong with anyone of those baits for sure. I would have had to put a bettle spin in my top five I just saying everyone has there on favorite baits they like to use. Thanks and appreciate all you do for us so we all can enjoy and learn from your video's. Well till next's time GodBless and Tight Lines.

[@TBassFactory]

Yes! Bj the beetlespin has become one of my favorites! Thanks bud!

[@callaseter4811]

🙏😀💕

[@ScalpNinjaTrader]

Thanks for the tip. Id like to add a beetle spin to the line up ❤

[@josephcolunga894]

Great information on this video Derek. Glad you included the crawfish, the only thing is to try and get them in white or close to the the red or maroon color. From personal experience the maroon color catches the most and gets them most strikes. I guess the next best thing is get a red jig head. I was sent some crappie jigs from a company and they were maroon color and I had twenty minutes of daylights last night and I caught my PB bluegill almost a pound. She hit like a bass

[@TBassFactory]

Yes! I like it Joseph. That is awesome to hear what is working for you I’ll have to try more maroon color next time. Sounds like that bluegill surprised you. That’s a big one. Thanks bud I hope you catch more like that one it’s ramping down to to be some good fishing

[@kevinholst9231]

Never ever needed lures to catch either blue hills or sunfish. Used a little piece of compressed white bread on end of the hook caught them as long as I wanted to. Very easy fishing!

[@TBassFactory]

Yes! Simple and catches em! I like it Kevin!

[@TN-Vols-Fan]

Excellent video and lure recommendations, thank you. I'm 64, been fishing since I was around 6. I use a lot of those same lures, other than the Caddis. Have to look into those. My only difference is that I use 2 lb and 4 lb test line the majority of the time. Thanks again

[@TBassFactory]

Oh yeah! I grew up in Arkansas fishing creeks and river when I was a little boy too! I love some light line too but these creeks and rivers down here have some biggins in them that like to bite and I’ve had to many times getting broke off! Thanks bud!

[@TN-Vols-Fan]

@@TBassFactory Probably should have clarified, I use 2 lb on my 7' light action live bait (usually crickets or meal worms) rod. I use 4 lb on my moving bait rod and sometimes 6 lb my 7' soft plastics rod. I live in S.E. Arkansas now, love it here.

[@troyrussell177]

5:06 that’s the lure I caught a giant bull frog on😂. Not a fowl hook, he legit ate the bait, poor effer. He survived, I threw him back with a sore mouth, had to mash the barbs to not hurt him, but he made a full recovery.

[@TBassFactory]

Oh wow you saved that guy

[@troyrussell177]

@@TBassFactory idk what science says but frogs are territorial/ have areas they call home. This giant bull frog would always be on this specific tree, in this specific area. I went back to the spot and checked up on him after this happened. I didn’t go specifically to check the frog but just from circumstance I was there. That’s how I know he made a full recovery. A month later he was right there doing the same thing he did prior. I’ll never forget the sounds he made. Dude was crying ☹️.

[@TBassFactory]

I Hate when they tease ya like that. I hope you get em bud!

[@michaelburke5907]

Years ago I scored some 1/16 th oz. tiny spinnerbaits at Gander Mountain.dressed with a tiny twister tail...just killer! Eventually I lost them all to snags or bite offs. I've since replicated the (almost) same effect with jig and spinner combo, but those little spinnerbaits were the best I've ever used.

[@TBassFactory]

Yes Michael, it’s hard to go with something else sometimes when it works so good. Sounds like you found your bait and it was a good one.

[@ZugBug27]

For springtime bluegill fishing especially, I often use some of the smallest little spinnerbait "arms" that I have ... I clip on a little jighead of 1/16 or 1/32 oz. and slip on a tiny twistertail or such ... I use 2 lb. Maxima green or 4 lb. Stren blue line ... will also clean up on crappie and the smaller bass that often hang out with the bigger bluegills in waters up to about 10' deep ...

Gulp alive minnows are the best to catch any species. "1 to "2 will catch everything. Ducks, turtles, frog's and all types of fresh water fish species.

[@TBassFactory]

Yes they will

[@scots2129]

Boogle bug sliders are my number 1 panfish lure

[@TBassFactory]

Those are some good ones

[@thundershadow]

I've had a lot of success with the cork poppers but I agree with the roostertail. That's my go-to bait.

[@TBassFactory]

Yes! It’s hard not to catch those active fish on the rooster tail!

[@patrickseekins1299]

How did you ignore a small beetle spin?

[@mfrank3518]

Black or white beetle spin bodies on 1/64 jig heads worked best for me. I still have a few.

[@jamesaspinwall5280]

Buoyant micro crank bait. My favs

[@sic-n-tiredtired4273]

That Rooster tail tiger is hands down my favorite lure, it catches pan fish, trout, bass, chub just about everything. Ill give the other ones a go and see how they do thanks for the info.

[@americanagothic7851]

I use trout magnets quite a bit. They work everywhere for panfish!

[@TBassFactory]

Yes those trout magnets are some of my favorites too!

[@eddiegonzales1970]

[@pnw_element9822]

Smaller lines for bluegills I use 2-4 not 6-8 lbs

[@TBassFactory]

Yep that will definitely work for them gills.

[@brycealthoff8092]

I use 6 lbs line when fishing around heavy weeds and brush. Gives it a little more abrasion resistance and lets you horse them out of pockets in the weeds.

[@DangerfriendsCo]

I use 6lbs bread attached to a 4 lbs leader line. Is this ok? I’m new to fishing trying to learn

[@brycealthoff8092]

@@DangerfriendsCo that should work just fine. Ether mono or fluorocarbon should work. Panfish usually aren’t very line shy unless the water is very clear.

[@americanagothic7851]

Bigger gills around here are definitely line shy. We resort to 2lb line on ice fishing combos sometimes. Just drop the line of the side of the boat and work the bait vertically.

[@felipevazquez123]

Having fished multiple s in different sizes and colors, kzbin.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 this is by far my favorite. One thing to be aware of is the sided willow blade. One side is silver and the other is the green/orange shown. This is not bad, just unconventional. In terms of fishing, I have found the lure works just fine without a tail like a craw or shad. That addition is up to you. Also, the hook part where you attach the swivel snap or tie the line is a problem on baits these days, since it's able to slide up and down. However this lure seems to be tight enough that that doesn't happen often, and you can solve it by putting a thin slice of medical tube over the hook before attaching the line. Like others have said, it's really magic on a good windy day.

[@TBassFactory]

Oh yeah Felipe!

[@JamesJones-cx5pk]

Quaker Oats mixed with water is a great bream chum.

[@TBassFactory]

Yes that will definitely get them all over the place. Great chum bait.

🤠 great information and techniques here, especially for those who are just starting out when it comes to fishing. I have a few jigs when it comes to panfish my myself. The panfish magnet kits, small tiny mister twister curly tails, the 1.25 inch mister twister nymphs, those small tiny crayfish kits, small tiny spoons, no bigger than a dime or a nickel-sized. Also Uncle Buck's hellgrammite pre-regged jigs and z-man larvaz jigs too. Not only are they great for panfish, they are also great for trout, crappies, perch and bass too. Awesome video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

so what you saying the smaller the better? here in upper midwest (wi) the 1/8 or even 1/32 ice fishing jigs with a waxie or tiny small plastic bait have filled my freezer for many years

[@TBassFactory]

Not always if you gotta blast a cast way out there or have a fast rate of fall but usually a lighter one gives more time and opportunity for the fish to get it and slows the rate of fall.

[@coachhannah2403]

A small bit of aluminum foil wrapped around a hook works quite well, though I have to admit my son and I used to catch bluegill on a freaking bare hook... 🙄
