I was born and raised in Chicago, but after working 12 years in the financial Industry regulating the futures and options markets at the CME/CBOT I decided to pursue my passion fishing professional tournaments and left my full time corporate job. At that point, I moved to Junction City, WI with my wife Sara and two boys Hank and Duke. I've been fishing professionally since 2011 and full-time since 2015. I've qualified for seven MLF Championships and won over a half million in tournament winnings at the professional level.

I was tweaking these to run weedless two days ago. A 4/0 berkley fusion screw lock hook through the side and a nail weight in the belly got it to run straight on a retrieve and was weedless. They look great

Thank you for putting this video together. I got some of these last weekend after my mega bass sleeper gill finally lost the paddle tail. I tried Texas rigging them and I couldn’t get them to swim upright properly. I didn’t think about using some of my nail weights. This weekend I’ll try them again with a swim jig head. I had also though of using them as a chatter bait trailer. I do like that they are cheaper per bait then the mega bass sleeper gill. I am sure once I get the rigging figured out they will preform as good or better then the mega bass sleeper gill.

I've been using the 2 Japanese versions of this bait for several years now. I like to nose hook but you need the extra support. One bait from japan comes with the a spring molded in the nose. The other comes with a unique harness. Very effective when the bass are keying in on bluegills. Thanks.

I just set one up with the straw and line through with treble hook. Can’t wait to try it out tomorrow. I tried the hook on the side and got a fish to strike but it missed it. By the time I got a small enough hook so it wouldn’t hinder the action the gap wasn’t wide enough to catch the fish. So I’m hoping the line through works.

I have some jointed hard swim baits that look super realistic and I thought were hard to tell from the real thing. But I've seen a few guys use those Gillys and those things are creepy how much you can get them to mimic a real bluegill. I don't have any yet, but I plan to buy some. For now, though, the topwater quest continues! Just got a pack of new 3/8 oz KVD Buzz Toads that I'm gonna try. I'm close! I can feel it!

I got a pack for Christmas and was excited to use them… but am no longer a fan after experiencing the rigging problems that you mentioned. Through-hooking them with a treble hook is the best solve, but at that point why not just use a bluegill style jointed swim bait… that’s what you have at that point. I won’t be buying anymore of these. If the situation arises where I need something like this I will just throw a traditional jointed bluegill swim bait. Great video. I really enjoyed hearing your thoughts. Thanks.

That's a very good video. Next time, if you would face the light source instead of having it more behind you, we would be able to see what you're doing a little bit better. Also, one thing that would help your presentation would be to show your close-ups for longer and in better detail with a plain background, maybe even after you're done doing the video part. That would make it a great how-to video. I'm very interested in the different ways to rig it, but it doesn't show up well on the video. Thank you so much for your time. It looks like a very good Bait. What did you catch on it mostly?? I'm guessing maybe Bass? God bless you, Cookie In northern Minnesota

3:55 this is just a general comment on paint and wear. IMO, what makes a fish look sick (aside from action/ how it swims) is usually not blood like is often used in most lures, but patchy splotches of white pale fleshy color . If a fish were to be injured, it might get an infection which is often fungal. This is going to appear white kinda like the way your lure looks when paint is stripped off it. Do I have any evidence this is how fish perceive prey in this manner, not really, but I think my logic is pretty sound.

i was using the 1/8 oz size. I had several people reach out to me with pictures of bass they caught today with the fusion 19 weighted wacky hook on the berkley gilly after I posted that video. give it a try!

The user instructions are lacking. What hook size are you supposed to use for a starter.
@MattStefanFishing
@MattStefanFishing Жыл бұрын
well it depends on the size of the gilly. they go from like 3 inches to 5 inches so any hook from 3/0 to 5/0 should work.

The paint coming off isn’t a terrible thing at all. It makes the bait look sickly, which is an easy meal to a predator.
