One of my favorite post spawn baits you need to fish now!

[@Daiwa_Is_King]

Love the sleeper Gil the dark sleeper and the sleeper craw. It’s funny most people hate so much on all these baits but they have always worked for me. I really like the technique you showed for the hook set, that’s is something I’m definitely gonna try. Thanks for another great video appreciate all the work you put in to your content Tight lines !!!

[@Ijustwanttofish2024]

@@Daiwa_Is_King yeah all the megabass baits you mentioned are great. Not sure why people would hate. Thanks for the compliment I appreciate it!

[@Daiwa_Is_King]

@ from what I’ve seen and heard they say the hookup rate is terrible or they fall apart to quick 😂 once again I’ve never had that problem 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Ijustwanttofish2024]

@Daiwa_Is_King yeah I don't think they fall apart but I definitely think you have to sweep set because of the hook gap. If people understand that they won't have problems. I've seen some people bend the hook point up a bit but I don't need to do that.

Thank you! Catch em up!

Thanks for sharing the juice. I have one just used it once but that will change lol.

[@Ijustwanttofish2024]

Throw it around bluegill beds and you will be buying more LOL.

Thanks man

Just like the dark sleeper ive found using braid to leader really helps with hook ups. I used 30lb braid to 17 or 20lb floro on a 893 nrx. They like it hopped also like stroking a jig on deeper rocks

[@Ijustwanttofish2024]

Thanks for the information. I could see the braid to leader working nicely. I have stroked the dark sleeper but never the gill, I will give it a shot.

[@bushidocode4773]

@@Ijustwanttofish2024How’s the dark sleeper?

[@Ijustwanttofish2024]

@@bushidocode4773 Its good but I use it more like a jig pitching and flipping or a football jig slowly dragging.

Great tip for blue gill spawn. I'll be putting it to work tomorrow! Like the scent info too. The Nories scent seems hard to find outside of ebay. Do you just buy online? Any recommendations? Thanks and keep up great vedios.

[@Ijustwanttofish2024]

Awesome! I'll be putting that gill to work today myself. Let me know how you make out. Every so often the hook up tackle will have the eco gear, but thats about it. Ebay is easy and prices are not bad.

[@Mags120fish1]

Going g to give it a try. Had these for a while but haven’t thrown them. Looks like that was a mistake.

[@Ijustwanttofish2024]

Yeah a couple people have said that. Put the trolling motor on high, cover water and throw it around shallow cover. Get around bluegill beds even better. There are certain docks bluegills will spawn behind or look for shallow coves.

[@rickyreynolds9056]

Thank you for the info!

[@Ijustwanttofish2024]

Thanks for the comment. Catch em up and let us know!

[@seabeechief99]

I'm convinced. What is the name of the manufacturer of the lure? (Bait)? Roughly how much does it cost? Where do you buy those? Thanks for answering my questions in advance. 😊

[@Ijustwanttofish2024]

Its the Megabass sleeper gill. They are around $9. a piece. You can buy them at a lot of different stores that sell bass tackle. If you want to buy it online just google it.

[@sebastianberrio2376]

Good vid!

[@Ijustwanttofish2024]

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback!

[@bushidocode4773]

I almost bought one a few days ago. I ended up getting the dark sleeper instead.

[@Ijustwanttofish2024]

Thats a good bait just used differently.

[@mannyfeeesh]

depends body water in the west coast they'll bite anything and everything

[@Ijustwanttofish2024]

See what happens when you are specifically targeting bass feeding on bluegills. This is a pattern some people dont give enough credit too and its truly amazing.

[@TurdFerguson1000]

Bend the hook up a little

[@Ijustwanttofish2024]

Yes that would help. The one thing I forgot to go over is you can get a lot of reaction bites by knocking that thing into cover, dock posts, or dragging it over grass etc. It designed to be "weedless" the top fin covers the hook. I have messed around with bending the hook and even a little the point stick out. So that can work it depends on where you are fishing it. Glad you brought this up because I wanted to tell people to bang this lure into things, so I hope they read this.

[@BCooper89]

Looks like ur using a 9 foot rod😅

[@Ijustwanttofish2024]

Lol, No it's a 7 foot. That's the camera angle your seeing.
