Thread: Scents For Bluegill

Demo man, there is no one scent that will work on all bluegills. They feed on different food in different lakes and in different seasons. I for the most part recycle my soft plastic bass baits that I have "used up" by cutting them into strips and leaving them in ziptop snack bags. I leave some scent in the bags (yes, bass scent) and when I am going after gills or bream I use the strips on my jig heads. It works like a charm. When you think about it they feed on the same critters just different sizes.

Love em. Maggots~Soldier Fly Larvae. They can tolerate heat better than the worms and like very wet conditions. They adults look like black wasps. Black soldier fly (BSF) larvae have powerful mouth parts and digestive enzymes that enable them to "chew up", eat and derive nutrient from raw organic materials rather than requiring that the feedstock is already somewhat rotted, as is the case with earthworms. Their digestive process does produce a manure that has a higher moisture content than does that of the earthworm, great for bluegill.
