Decided to take a page out of the fly fisherman's playbook. Gills love runner legs.

Those baits look fantastic!  Those look like Bluegill catchers for sure!  Side Note: Don't let Jammie (JMoe) see these!

LOL @ don't let JMoe see these. I caught fish on one of them last week, but my buddy used one without the rubber legs and also caught fish, so i can't say they made a difference that day. I just know from fishing with a fly rod over the years that bluegills are attracted to baits with rubber legs.

Grasshoppers,crickets,mayflies,etc.

The driving force and secret desire of every bass fisherman, is to one day be a crappie fisherman............Could it be that the good Lord just smilies and looks the other way when a fisherman tells a lie?

Sunfish baits for sure. I have my best results using flies with long legs!

Beetle bodies with rubber legs are as classic for bream as cane poles and bobbers. It's breamin' tradition and glad to see it is still alive. Nice baits FTID. Try the "X" pattern with the rubber legs when you get a chance. Tends to have a much flatter, slower fall.
