Summer Lures
#1
Senko
Color: Green Pumpkin · Size: 3 inch
Cast near vegetation and dock shadows, let it fall on semi-slack line with minimal movement.
Natural finesse presentation matches bluegill feeding in post-rain, overcast conditions where they retreat to shallow cover.
#2
Panfish Crappie Minnow
Color: Pearl White · Size: 1.5 inch
Use light 1/16 oz jig head, work slowly around submerged brush and soft structure with subtle lifts and pauses.
Small profile and realistic minnow shape appeal to bluegill in cloudy conditions; recent rain has elevated water and scattered the bite.
#3
Ned Rig TRD
Color: Green Goby · Size: 2.75 inch
Cast to shallow weed edges and fallen timber, drag slowly along bottom with frequent pauses to trigger bites.
Compact yet lifelike design excels in midday overcast periods when bluegill are less aggressive; the mushroom head keeps it in the strike zone.
