Description

From an epiphany to reality, the Rat-A-Gilly is now here! The crazy concept was to create a hybrid type topwater bait that had the profile of a rat and featured a bluegill pattern. A best of both worlds type of bait so-to-speak. with a plopper tail and we're talkin some serious blow up action! Although this bait is super new to the market and we're unaware of any other bait out there just like it, we're anticipating a guge influx of positive feedback and success stories using it! Don't get "Caught" without one!

Field Notes

Use this as a surface bait around cover where bass are willing to blow up on a noisy, high-profile target. The plopper tail suggests a steady retrieve to create commotion and draw reaction strikes, especially in low-light periods or when fish are feeding near the surface.

Pros

  • Unique rat-and-bluegill profile can trigger reaction bites
  • Plopper tail adds strong surface disturbance
  • Good for calling fish up from cover

Cons

  • Likely less effective in very cold water or when bass want a subtle presentation
  • Topwater hookups can be missed if fish swipe short
