![]() ![]() You know how lures like that are working, but it looks to me like a lure such as the Sleeper Gill from that video is working in a different way. When I started looking around I found out that Savage Gear USA also does a version of this type of lure which they call the Structure Gill and which I presume is for the freshwater bass market as well. Go looking and there are a fair few of these types of lure design in the US now and they still tend to refer to them as swimbaits which is actually a very large category of lures over there. Don’t quote me here but I think that this Sleeper Gill lure is designed to imitate a species of fish called a bluegill which I presume largemouth bass feed on. I have been looking around at these types of lures and my research leads me as it often does to the massive US fishing tackle market. I believe that like the MegaBass Dark Sleeper, this Sleeper Gill was designed by MegaBassfor the freshwater bass market. It’s subtly unlike anything I own or use myself. The information they put across about how to fish with this rather wrasse-looking MegaBass Sleeper Gill soft plastic and how it differs slightly to their MegaBass Dark Sleeper which I made reference to in this blog post here from a while back is pretty comprehensive.įorget about the brand of the lure for a second here, and instead think about the design of the lure itself and how it’s designed to work. Obviously this video from Ultimate Fishing is partly about a new to their market soft plastic lure which they are starting to stock and distribute and of course they need to sell this item - welcome to the real world! - but I also choose to give them and the angler a hell of a lot of credit. It’s presented by a French angler called Nicolas Cadiou who I believe is a bit of a wizard at estuary based fishing especially for some rather nice bass. Anyway, so if you are now here then I am going to assume you have watched this video. ![]()
