Field Notes

Use the Big Gill on a Texas rig for bottom contact and a natural, ribbed displacement. It also works weightless or on Neko/Jika/Tokyo rigs for slower presentations, and can be dragged on the bottom to mimic crawfish or larger baitfish forage.

Pros

  • Ribbed body displaces water for strong presence
  • Versatile rigging options (Texas, weightless, Neko, Jika, Tokyo, dropshot)
  • Can imitate bluegill/shad and also work as a creature/crawfish-style bait

Cons

  • Requires rigging (not a ready-to-fish lure)
