I like that!! I have struggled with ways to rig this bait. The best way i have found is nose hookin on a buzz bait with no skirt

Great video I love this bait, you can do so much with it. I like to put a piece of foam in the open at the top, then a dab of super glue to close then put a nail weight below it's mouth. This is great for bedding bass, it drives them crazy. I also put my hook down to the second little line the one that is almost at the bottom. I use the smallest size alot, but the 110 size is the killer..putting some red on the bottom is the way to go .sorry for the long comment, just love this bait. My son just bought a Ranger 200hp, so I have drive 7 hours to get on it going next week ,it will be a father and son experience. Take care and enjoy!

I took one of those weights that look like a screw and twisted it into the BOTTOM of the Gilly (this makes sure your Gilly swims upright) because the weight is at the bottom of the Gilly. As long as it is on the bottom half of the Gilly then it should be fine. I have even screwed that weight in from the back side of the Gilly. Then I do the nose hook with the thing (don’t know what it is called) that you screw into the mouth. 🤷🏼♂️ The side hook is great but when you catch one fish with it, the hook rips the mouth and the hook goes completely through the whole Gilly. Basically the Gilly is crippled after catching one fish. BUT I will say that the Gilly is the future of fishing. It is an incredible lure and it is really fun to fish, especially in clear water.

Thanks for that Travis. For sure on the standard hook wrecking the lure. If you are going to rip the bait on the first fish, it better be a BIG! Great idea on the weight!

@@BrianGaberFishing there is a round indentation right underneath the bottom lip. I either put it there or I come in through the back of the Gilly. Also make sure the weight is screwed in straight and not diagonal.

Great stuff! I’ve played with these for the last year and started doing the same thing you described. For me the easiest way to color them what’s the use the spike it pens. I’ve been able to actually put the dye where I want it instead of all over me or my boat. Keep the good videos coming

I have found that the dark colors green pumpkin and black/blue catch more bass than the 3D replica colors. I first bought the dark colors because that is what was in stock locally, but now that I have ordered and fished the realistic lighter colors, the dark colors still produce more for me for both clear or stained water, shallow or deep. I think it's the profile and undulating action more than matching the hatch. For the 110 Gilly I use a 3/0 springer side hook, usually with a 1/16th oz tungsten chin/belly weight but also side hooked weightless for a shallower side-swimming injured sunfish action.

@BrianGaberFishing2 жыл бұрын
I put a foam ear plug in the top cavity before I glued it shut. It makes the bait more bouyant... You get that bluegill injured near the surface action with it nose hooked.

@@kennyg3192 I hear you on the whacky rig and ned. You HAVE to do what you have to do to get fish in the boat. We have fish cribs here in Northern Wisconsin and the gills load up in them and the bass eat them like snacks. I've seen 6lb smallmouth eat an 5 inch bluegill near the cribs. I'm going to go to that lake and try to reproduce that with the gilly. I mainly use it once I've got a decent limit and trying to upgrade fast.
