Meet the New Flip Gill
Spring fishing is all about matching what bass are feeding on, and few forage species create more aggressive reactions than bluegill around the spawn. That’s exactly why we designed the 6th Sense FlipGill — a compact, ultra-realistic soft plastic built to imitate bluegill and panfish in the most natural way possible.
From shallow cover to bedding fish, this bait was made to excel when precision and realism matter most.
The FlipGill combines a true bluegill profile with detailed 3D features, including:
- Realistic scale patterns
- Detailed gill plates
- Natural-looking eyes
- Molded fin features
Every detail was designed to give bass a convincing target, whether you’re flipping heavy cover or sight fishing shallow beds.
Built for Flipping Heavy Cover
The primary design focus behind the Flip Gill was simple: create the perfect flipping bait for springtime bass fishing.
Rigged on a:
- 4/0 hook
- 1/2 oz tungsten weight
- Peg-X weight stopper
…the Flip Gill becomes an efficient setup for targeting virtually any shallow cover.
This bait performs around:
- Stumps
- Laydowns
- Bushes
- Grass
- Docks
The compact profile slides through the cover cleanly while still maintaining the wide-bodied bluegill appearance that bass are actively feeding on during the spawn.
A Bed Fishing Game Changer
One of the biggest strengths of the FlipGill is how naturally it imitates a bluegill near bass beds.
Any angler who spends time sight fishing in the spring knows bluegill are one of the biggest threats to bass eggs. When a realistic panfish-style bait enters the bed, bass often react immediately.
That’s where the FlipGill shines.
Its subtle movement, realistic profile, and natural appearance make it an ideal bait for triggering defensive strikes from bedding fish.
If you’re looking for a bait that stays visible, presents naturally, and gets aggressive reactions, the Flip Gill deserves a permanent spot in your spring lineup.
More Than Just a Flipping Bait
Even though the FlipGill was designed with flipping in mind, its versatility opens the door for several effective presentations.
Carolina Rig
Drag it across staging areas or transition banks where bass are feeding on roaming bluegill.
Swing Head or Axle Head
Fishing around brim beds? This setup allows the FlipGill to move naturally while covering water efficiently.
Offshore Bluegill Imitation
Whenever bass are feeding on panfish instead of shad, the FlipGill gives you a realistic alternative profile that often gets bigger bites.
If bass are keyed in on bluegill, there’s a good chance the FlipGill can help you generate more strikes.
