Description
Link to custom color order form
Length
1.5" micro Gilley profile with a tiny, bite-sized body.
Best for
Bluegill, pumpkinseed, crappie, perch, stocked trout, and any panfish chasing small fry, bugs, or hatchlings.
Style
Compact ribbed body with a tapered tail that slides, shivers, and pulses on the pause instead of kicking like a larger minnow.
Where it shines
Quiet coves, marina corners, weed edges, brush piles, cribs, and ice holes when the fish are nipping at tiny forage and ignoring full-size plastics.
Little bait, big results: thread a Micro Gilley on a light-wire hook or micro jig, let it glide and tremble, and let the panfish do the rest. When they’re pecking and short-striking bigger baits, this tiny profile usually closes the deal.

Top 3 ways we fish it

Simple rigs when panfish are keyed in on tiny meals.

Hovering Under a Pencil Float

Micro jig under a slim float for cruisers and nibblers.
  • Match it with a 1/64–1/32 oz jighead on 2–6 lb mono or fluoro.
  • Set the float so the Gilley rides just above tops of weeds, brush, or crib tops.
  • Pop the float gently, then let it sit still so the bait hangs and barely shivers.
A go-to around docks, fishing piers, and bank spots where fish roam but won’t leave the cover they’re hiding in.

Dead-Stick Vertical

Straight up-and-down for cold fronts and picky schools.
  • Drop a small tungsten or lead micro jig straight down and stop just off bottom or above the cover you’re fishing.
  • Hold the rod steady and use tiny fingertip shakes to make the ribs and tail pulse in place.
  • Pause often and watch your line or electronics – most bites feel like added weight, not a thump.
A killer move over crib fields, brush piles, or in an ice shack when fish show up on the screen but won’t chase a bigger offering.

Slow-Track Along the Edge

Light jig, slow retrieve, tracing the edge of the cover.
  • Thread the Gilley straight on a 1/32 oz jig and cast along weedlines, riprap, or creek channels.
  • Use a slow, even retrieve that keeps the bait just off the bottom or ticking the tops of the grass.
  • Mix in brief pauses or a half-crank to let it glide and fall like a wounded fry slipping out of the school.
Great for covering water in small lakes and ponds when you want to find roaming schools of crappie and bigger bluegill without upsizing the bait.
Pour & profile: Soft, supple plastic poured into a tiny Gilley shape so even cautious panfish can inhale it without feeling much resistance.
Made for: Ultralight spinning or ice combos, 2–6 lb line, and slow-paced country fishing where you’re happy to pick off one more bluegill at a time.
