5” Gill Swimbait

5” Gill Swimbait – Natural Bluegill Profile

The 5-inch Gill Swimbait is built to mimic one of the most common meals for big bass — a fleeing bluegill. With its natural body roll and realistic profile, it delivers a lifelike presence that triggers both feeding and territorial strikes. Designed for steady retrieves or slow rolls along structure, this bait shines anywhere bluegill roam.

• Lifelike Action: Smooth tail kick and steady body roll that mimics a live baitfish.

• Slow-Sinking Build: Keeps the bait in the strike zone longer, perfect for cruising or suspended fish.

• Durable Hardware: Heavy-duty split rings and sharp hooks made for big fish.

• Versatile Presentation: Works around docks, grass edges, and shallow cover.

🕐 When & Where to Use

The Gill Swimbait is deadly from spring through early fall, especially around spawning flats, points, docks, and brush where bass guard beds or hunt panfish. Use it in clear to slightly stained water with a slow, steady retrieve for a natural presentation. Big bass can’t resist a bluegill that looks lost.

👉 Cast near cover, reel slow, and hold on — this bait calls out the bullies.
