  • In this video I am fishing for bluegill. My favorite bluegill bait is redworms. I like fishing for bluegill using light tackle, spinning reels, and a bobber. Gamakatsu octopus circle hooks are what I consider to be the best bluegill hook made. Small hooks for bluegill are needed, and the Gamakatsu hooks are an excellent hook for bluegill, bream and other small fish like sunfish.

    I've never used a circle hook for bluegill. I'll take your advice and give it a try. My goto favorite has been a JDM jighead: Cultiva JH-89 Bluegill Assassin. If I can get away with using their .5g or 1g jighead with a #10 hook I will. You don't set the hook on these, but rather treat them just like circle hooks. When you feel the tug, just start reeling. But next time I use worms, I'll definitely try the Gamakatsu circle hook.

    Years ago my dad took his soft wire gold hooks and reshaped them into circle hooks for panfish until he found some small ones somewhere to buy. I mostly use small beadhead flies and no bait to catch gills for bait. I just use one split shot and have a reel with I think four pound line. Faster than using a fly rod where I fish

    I use a #14 trout hook w/ bent eye. I snell a packet of them w/ 4lb fluorocarbon. Then when the leader finally gets worn and the hook lost, I just attach another leader to my snap swivel.

    I use 4s for my gills. Eliminates small gills for me. Also bigger fish are deeper. 12-18" off the bottom.

  • @christianspain3015
    @christianspain3015 Рік тому +1

    I'm going to try these. I have always used size 8 J hooks but this makes sense. With the braid I assume you used a palomar knot? I usually use 2 or 4 lb mono on my ultra lights so may actually try to basic snell that for the hook set.

  • @peoriaos6627
    @peoriaos6627 7 місяців тому

    I use tiny long shanked hooks. They are very easy to pull out and i can pull in 10 lb catfish with them.
    Throw some corn out there the day before and use a cast net or corn on the hook. Grasshopper lures work well at the end of summer when worms don't work.

  • @ocshaman7323
    @ocshaman7323 Рік тому +1

    Are you tying straight to the braid, or running a leader? Also, I've been using circle hooks from Ebay under the 7384 designation. The #10s work for fish up to 1 lb. channel cats so far.

    I like the small circle hooks as well sir.
    I always pay very close attention to your videos and let me just tell ya that I place a lot of trust in your sage advice. I mean,you know of what you speak. One of the best on UA-cam in my humble opinion. So, here's the thing. Pardon my ignorance but I couldn't get a close enough look at what you called a "warmouth " ....I'm afraid I might be using them thinking they are fabulous baits. Please tell me why you don't like em and I'll see if I can figure out which ones they are. They are all so similar and......sorry for the long comment but I gots to know

    i get white perch in the brackish water near where i live, there are bluegill way up in the creek and sometimes down near me but it is brackish so the White Perch are readily available. Ill catch a few perch and then go out close the channel and drown my bait for some fatty blue cats

    Ok I need to try these. I've tried small circle hooks before but a different brand and maybe not as small. I am so tired of the abardeen hooks bending.

  • @TheIconicFisherman
    @TheIconicFisherman Рік тому +1

    I use size #6 gamakatsu octopus circle hooks I find you actually don't have to go any smaller than that in my experience. I've caught both very large and very small bluegill on size #6 gamakatsu octopus circle hooks. As a matter of fact I'm actually so convinced you don't have to go smaller than a size #6 gamakatsu octopus circle hook that I actually got rid of all my size #8 gamakatsu octopus circle hooks. Because I felt like I no longer needed them after discovering I can just use size #6 gamakatsu octopus circle hooks.
