Come underwater and watch these bass attacking bluegill! We’re using a variety of bluegill imitating swimbaits and plastic worms to elicit reaction strikes. Early Spring signals the start of the war between bass and bluegill, let us show you how to take advantage of it and catch more bass in today’s underwater video!
Once bass turn their attention to the shallows, bluegill become an immediate threat. Instinctively, bass begin to erratic them from their shallow haunts. Knowing this, we can stay one step ahead of the bass. By imitating bluegill we are able to draw on the bass’ natural aggression and ultimately catch more fish.
In today’s underwater footage we used a variety of bluegill imitators. From worms to swimbaits, we’ve linked all of the baits below in the order they appeared in the video. All of the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item. We’ve also included rigging components where relevant.
