Overview

New and improved, the Ultimate Bluegill is the most realistic Bluegill bait ever made. It sits nose down like the original Mattlures Bluegill, but now it has pectoral fins that actually move with the bait. At rest they flair out and when that big female is inches away from it while its sitting in her bed, the fins will sway back and forth from her breathing on them.

When the bait is swimming the fins lay back against the side just like they are supposed to. It also features two tail options. The boot tail offers a killer swimming action, while the flat tail is not designed to swim, it's actually made to be fished like a jig or used as a bed bait. The pelvic fins have even been lengthened to the correct size, which really helps hide the stinger hook should you choose to use one. Available in a variety of realistic colors, the Mattlures Ultimate Bluegill is available at Tackle Warehouse.

Previous Feedback  

Comments: Like other comments have said.. out of the package it swims like crap. Stays on its side the whole time and won't go straight. They need more weight in the belly.

From: Unknown: 3/9/23

Comments: Okay, I bought this lure a month ago to see what the hype was all about. I had high hopes for it. Boy was it a disappointment to me. (My impression IMHO) First, let me tell you the pros about it. It has a good color scheme, looks realistic and it cast fair. Now for the cons. The tail action is not good unless you're burning the bait, all the lure wants to do is surface like a wake bait no matter how slow you retrieve it, if there's any chop, waves or wind on the water it wants to lay on its side while retrieved and the jighead lead weight need to be glued down in the bait. It moves around too much at least to my liking. Don't get me wrong I'm pretty sure it catches fish. But for me those issues have to be fixed before I'd purchase another one.

From: Unknown: 3/7/22

Comments: Don't waste your money, I really did want to like this bait but out of the package it swam on its side BAD! this is practically a wake bait or at least mine is, Its almost like there is just a few bb's worth of weight up front at the head. I tried adding nail weights and it still rolls and still wakes. I have the U2 as well and same thing the only good thing about them is how freakin realistic they are. I'm just gonna be using these for bed fishing or like I said wake bait.

From: Anthony: Massachusetts 4/8/21

Comments: I picked one of these up to try and throw around at some local bodies of water. Straight out of the package it didn't swim straight, it would swim on its side and it struggled to even sink. A little odd, but I tried adding weights to try and help it run straight but I couldn't find a way to get the tail to even kick properly. A little disappointed, but I'm sure it would make a decent bed bait since it looks alright.

From: Unknown: Salt Lake City, UT 12/28/20

Comments: Doesn't swim as good as I expected and sinks pretty fast. Eyes fell off first cast. Was hoping for a better lure.

From: Unknown: 6/27/20

Comments: Bait looks great in the water but got destroyed just from casting didn't catch a fish or get any bites on it but after fishing with it 3 times the harness tore through the rubber twice which I glued back shut.  Now the nose of the bait is coming through as well.  I understand it is very soft plastic but for $25 I expected a lot more.  I emailed Matt Lures about the problem and they never got back with me.  And I emailed them over 3 weeks ago.

From: Chad - Illinois 8/15/19

Comments: Bait was destroyed on the first bass. The inside wooden part was all that I had left and the bass threw the rubber body into the weed beds beyond where I could retrieve. I'd expect better quality for $25. I've had cheap Storm baits last longer from Walmart.

From: Daniel: AL 6/3/19

Comments: Although, I have not caught a fish on the bait yet. This bait has an amazing action and skips very well it also sits at a 90 degree angle so will be excellent for bed fishing for those bigger fish. The plastic is very soft, but the pour job is kind of hit and miss. Hook is very sharp. Great for all the tournament fishermen who need to put a kicker in the live well, Can't wait to catch my first one!

From: Unknown - 12/15/17

Comments: ANAZING! Catches giants! First few giants the hard inside come out so I super glued it and it swims sideways but earlier today I caught a 5.1 on it!

From: Quinn: Carmel, Indiana 11/5/17

Comments: Awesome swimming action and color. love throwing them in beds and even in summer under piers for snook. need some mendit to go with it though great bait and just ordered 3 more. Also add a treble to the bottom for better hook ups.

From: Caeden: Texas 2/22/17

Comments: got one of these a while back. look so good in person. These baits flat out catch fish. Lots of big fish, but i do recommend a bottle of mend it to fix these little guys up after lots of fish. Definitely getting more.     

From: Caden: San Diego, CA 3/14/16

Comments: These baits catch fish for sure but if there's any northern pike in the water your fishing I would go with something different. Went through 2 of these in an afternoon. Caught a 8 pound pike on this lure within a couple casts & all that was left is the hook & lead. 

From: Ramsey: Bismarck, ND 2/28/16

Comments: Bait tore completely in half on me after 15 minutes of use. Don't try to skip this bait even the slightest bit because it will rip. Contacted Mattlures and they haven't gotten back to me. You have to skip bluegill baits often to get them into places where the bass are feeding on bluegills but that's not possible if your bait tears in half so easily

From: John: NJ 7/1/15

Comments: this is by far the best bluegill swimbait I've used. Matt does some great work on these baits I don't use them as a bed bait I use them like a huddleston or a baitsmith. I've cought 5 fish over 12lbs with these baits. There worth the money. Make sure to have plenty of mend it for these baits.

From: Austin: Atlanta, GA 9/11/14

Comments: Great bait. As long as you take proper care of them, they'll hold up. Lots of glue, and mendit. As a bed bait, these lures will drive fish out of their minds. Realistic as heck, and great for swimming and bedding. Very versatile. Love em love em love em. Pricey for a soft bait, but when you see the monsters you catch, it's worth every penny!

From: Chris: Mass

Comments: i have problems with this bait tearing, I recommend the hardgill series.

From: Lucas: Glasgow, KY

Comments: While it may be uncommon for swimbaits i like to use a weight right behind the hook. that way i can nose dive it right in like a 10 foot radius underneath (if i can see bed) then i poka around and i just pulled a 13 pounder out the other day on male bluegill color... bottom line. BUY THESE PRODUCTS!

Comments: I caught some bluegill while fishing for Bass at a private pond a couple weeks ago, when I got home I came here and ordered one of these. Glad I did. Twenty casts and five fish on this swimbait when I went back this weekend.

From:Sam: San Jose, CA

Comments:Female bass hate these guys, throw them on top of their beds and watch these little swim baits go to work.
