Maybe the number one thing that bass eat in the North are bluegill. This new lure takes the bluegill imitation to a new level. In this video we go over some new Berkley Gilly tips and tricks to help fine tune what is a great new swimbait. I’ll show several ways to rig the new Berkley Gilly, as well as go over a tip and trick not yet seen on Youtube.

Like that tip looks good
Great video I love this bait, you can do so much with it. I like to put a piece of foam in the open at the top, then a dab of super glue to close then put a nail weight below it's mouth. This is great for bedding bass, it drives them crazy. I also put my hook down to the second little line the one that is almost at the bottom. I use the smallest size alot, but the 110 size is the killer..putting some red on the bottom is the way to go .sorry for the long comment, just love this bait. My son just bought a Ranger 200hp, so I have drive 7 hours to get on it going next week ,it will be a father and son experience. Take care and enjoy!
I like that!! I have struggled with ways to rig this bait. The best way i have found is nose hookin on a buzz bait with no skirt
I took one of those weights that look like a screw and twisted it into the BOTTOM of the Gilly (this makes sure your Gilly swims upright) because the weight is at the bottom of the Gilly. As long as it is on the bottom half of the Gilly then it should be fine. I have even screwed that weight in from the back side of the Gilly.
Then I do the nose hook with the thing (don’t know what it is called) that you screw into the mouth. 🤷🏼♂️
The side hook is great but when you catch one fish with it, the hook rips the mouth and the hook goes completely through the whole Gilly. Basically the Gilly is crippled after catching one fish.
BUT I will say that the Gilly is the future of fishing. It is an incredible lure and it is really fun to fish, especially in clear water.
anytime a fishmen says, "never seen" I just laugh. How in the hell do you know what the fish has seen. and they don't carry notebooks and write down the lures you hooked them on for memory recall. LOL.
I do like the dye job….big diff👍
Great to tip to dye the bottom ! I will try this method for sure. Thanks ! 🙂
In order from wasting the dip and glo by pouring in a tray, use cutips and use it like a paintbrush
cant say it enough the dye thing is awesome
excellent tips i really like the spike it dye thing
Great stuff! I’ve played with these for the last year and started doing the same thing you described. For me the easiest way to color them what’s the use the spike it pens. I’ve been able to actually put the dye where I want it instead of all over me or my boat. Keep the good videos coming
Thanks for the info. if I could ask one thing of you, could you please be more specific when teaching, what size gilly ? what size CPS spring ? if you leave any of these details out, it poorly effects the teachable moment. but over all good video, thanks
What is this "ear plug" (I hope I have this right) you talked about?
Good tip, I just got some the other day and got a 7 pounder and I lost the bait. Your tips I think will save me some money
I have found that the dark colors green pumpkin and black/blue catch more bass than the 3D replica colors. I first bought the dark colors because that is what was in stock locally, but now that I have ordered and fished the realistic lighter colors, the dark colors still produce more for me for both clear or stained water, shallow or deep. I think it's the profile and undulating action more than matching the hatch. For the 110 Gilly I use a 3/0 springer side hook, usually with a 1/16th oz tungsten chin/belly weight but also side hooked weightless for a shallower side-swimming injured sunfish action.
nice vid and tips, btw that is not the bluegill imitation model, that is a sunfish, they have another variation which is called "bluegill" and which is closer to what real life bluegill would be
y'all keep the knock off I'll take the original
Won’t you take that pro tip of the day take it on the lake and show us how the died one works better than the factory since they’re keyed in on color
Nice tips Brian. New Sub.
