I'm planning on moving to a new server within the next 2 to 3 weeks. Just a little friendly warning as there might be a few hours of odd behavior when the process starts. I will try to have it done at night or weekend.

I bought a couple and am excited to throw them, But I wont really get a good chance until spring. They are huge and may be a tad big for Michigan fish, But I wanted to give them a shot. I wish they offered a smaller size, Maybe in the future. 

What size rod and line are you using?

If you get a chance to watch these videos, You might also want to try them. The new Jr model is still 5.1 inch's.... I was hoping for a 3-4 inch model.










What about topwater Gills? Baitsmith series x panfish...

I'm really happy with the jackall gantarel. Very realistic and the swimming action is pretty good. I think you'll be happy with it.

Does the smaller one come in real bluegill colors too? The big one will work but I don't always fish lakes where I feel confident much of the time with a 6+ inch lure.

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.

I like that smaller one. I imagine it's not a cheap lure...

Many swimbaits similar to these sell for $100-$200 each. These I posted about have sold for over $100, So links I provided are as cheap as I have seen them. 

Look at the Deps Bullshooter 160... 3-5X more expensive and I don't think it looks or swims as good.

Too many pike and muskie in Michigan to pay that much for a lure they will love to eat! :D

Sad story. Calls for heavier line and careful casting. IF you buy 1 or more of those expensive things! I'm thinking it would be a steel leader required in lots of places I like to fish. :D
