Best ways to fish it (demo)

Swim Jig Trailer Shallow grass, slow roll
Texas Rig Pitching to cover
Ball Jig Head Dragging sand or rock
Split Shot Natural subtle glides
Link to custom color order form
Length
2.0" Gilley profile with a fuller bite for days you want a touch more presence.
Best for
Bigger bluegill, crappie, perch, and trout—especially when they’re feeding up and willing to track a slightly larger snack.
Style
Ribbed, high-texture body that pushes water at slow speeds, with a small tail that keeps working even on light line.
Where it shines
Docks, pencil reeds, inside turns, brush, and weed edges—anywhere panfish live tight but still hunt out a couple feet to eat.
Easy switch-up bait: when the micro stuff gets pecked at, jump to the 2.0" Gilley. It’s still finesse, just “a little more there” so fish commit instead of just nipping.

Top 3 ways we fish it

Finesse moves with a little more presence.

Dock-Pole Swim

Pitch tight, swim it out, and let it fall at the edge.
  • Rig on a 1/32–1/16 oz jighead and keep the bait straight.
  • Swim it just fast enough to feel steady pressure, then stop it at the shade line.
  • Let it pendulum down on semi-slack line—most bites happen on that fall.

Hover & Shake

Hold it in place over cover and make it “breathe.”
  • Drop over brush, crib tops, or a weed pocket and stop just above it.
  • Use tiny shakes to make the ribs pulse while the bait stays nearly still.
  • Pause longer than feels right—this one shines when you give fish time.

Slow-Bottom Glide

Let it touch down, then creep it like forage rooting around.
  • Use the lightest head that still reaches bottom where you’re fishing.
  • Drag a foot, stop, then lift just enough to scoot it forward.
  • Keep contact without hopping—think “creep and pause,” not “jig and jump.”
