5" Bluegill Glide

5” Bluegill Glide – Realistic Panfish Imitation

The 5-inch Bluegill Glide is a compact big-bait built to imitate one of the most irresistible meals in freshwater — the bluegill. With a natural profile, smooth swimming motion, and slow-sinking design, this glide bait excels when fish are feeding shallow or following near cover. Perfect for pressured fisheries or smaller water bodies where a full-size glide might be too much.

• Realistic Bluegill Look: Hand-painted detail and natural coloring for lifelike presentation.

• Smooth Glide Action: Wide, natural movement that triggers feeding or territorial strikes.

• Slow-Sinking Build: Keeps it in the strike zone longer for following or suspended fish.

• Durable Components: Heavy-duty split rings and sharp hooks ready for big fish.

• Compact Design: Ideal size for targeting trophy bass that are feeding tight to cover or shallow flats.

🕐 When & Where to Use

The Bluegill Glide performs best from late spring through early fall, when bass are feeding on panfish near the bank, around beds, docks, grass lines, and shallow wood. Use a slow, steady glide or add soft pauses near structure to draw aggressive reaction bites. It’s a go-to when the water’s clear and the bite gets visual.

👉 When they’re feeding shallow — this bait gets crushed.
