Overview
A soft plastic creature designed to have the same profile as a bluegill, the Deps Bull Flat Creature Bait features a unique spiraling action on fall that perfectly imitates a dying panfish. Poured with Deps proprietary plastic, the material contains a crustacean scent and is formulated to be ultra-soft while still maintaining high tensile strength. Made with no salt, the Bull Flat is highly buoyant and ideal for free rigs, weightless Texas rigs, and Carolina rigs so the bait can move freely without sinking.
When weighted, the plastic gives the bait a slower fall and the spiraling action becomes tighter. The bellows-shaped tail gives the Bull Flat a natural swimming action, while the arms resemble the fins of a bluegill and generate micro-vibrations even when it's barely moving through the water. A highly versatile and multi-purpose soft plastic, Deps Bull Flat Creature Bait also shines on a drop shot or when used as a bladed jig trailer.

Comments: Update from 7/22 post. Most of the green pumpkin and hybrid natural colors just get bit regardless of water clarity and light intensity. Prefer the 4.8 in GP/Orange for targeting deeper big summering largies on a 1/6, 1/8 or 3/16 oz DS weight. The 3.8 size gets bit by smallies and largies alike. Watermelon blue, bluegill, GP/Chartreuse, Blue Melon. Been fishing the 3"on a weedless drop shot setup with a size 1 Ryugi Hobbit hook for largies and smallies. Mostly Blue Melon and GP/Chartreuse on the drop shot setup. Mostly pumping or stroking 1-3 times and the crush it on the fall. Can't wait to try the 5.8s for largies and maybe a decent toothy kicker fish. Favorite hook. 3/0 or 4/0 G-Finesse Hybrid Worm Hook for the 3.8 and 4/0 or 5/0 Hybrid Worm Hook for the 4.8

Comments: This is the best gill plastic I've used for it's unique action on the fall. Amazing free rig bait. Superior free rig action compared to bellows gill, osp dolive gill, gilly. I wish they had the durability of the bellows gills. Oh well. I'll be waiting $2 a fish I guess. Reserved for tough conditions, clear water, and highly pressured water.

Comments: It's like cheating. Doesn't matter how you fish it, Texas rig, free rig, jig trailer, drop shot, if a bass sees it it's getting eaten, end of story. Durability is poor, on a jig it's a bit better, and they're ungodly expensive, but if you don't mind $2 a fish, they 100% work.

Comments: Great bait. Very productive! Worth owning. I purchased the 3.8 inch size in Watermelon Blue. I used it in the spring for bedding bass and also this summer for deeper holding fish. Bait was fished on a Free Rig with a 1/8oz tungsten tear drop closed eye drop shot weight. The bait itself has plenty of weight for casting. The Bull Flat looks like an egg-robbing Bluegill fished shallow and a dying Bluegill spiraling to the bottom fished deep. To save baits, rig it on an Owner Twistlock Lite 4/0 hook. (The bait will rip or get torn off an EWG hook).
