Great video brother. Tricks I’ve done is using a screw loc spring through the nose so I don’t rip the lips out of the gills. Next line through with small treble swims flawlessly. Adjust neko weight according to depth and rate of fall you want. I’ve also seen a buddy do good fishing on beds rigging with a weighted wacky hook with weed guard.
I almost don’t want to say anything but , 110mm with a 0/3 EWG hook with a treble hook ring in the eye of hook . Put 1/8-1/4 oz nail weight long ways in belly and hook gilly sideways or in the I think it’s the 30 degree downward position. I like the 30 degree downward position myself. 7lb crush it and a 4lb the other day. Has a 6lb follow it and I miss the bite. 110 to me is the perfect size for all size fish.
The most difficult bait I've ever had to try to figure out how to rig I still haven't even used it yet... I did prerig them all with EWG hooks This is one bait that Berkeley should have just charged a dollar or two more and had it premounted on a jig head....my .02.
That was a great video you showed different rigging methods that nobody else has shown and I really learned a lot and really appreciate what you have shown on this video 👍
Using an owner centering pin is the best way to rig the 90 thru the nose. Just like nose rigging a fluke. I was able to land 4 fish tonight on the same 90mm Gilley and its still good to go.
Great advice! I have my first ever Gilly baits coming today! Just heard of these baits. Great to know different ways to rig them. My fishing areas are all loaded with bluegill, so I'm pretty excited to try this out! Also the areas are smallish, so the fish are also smaller (mostly!) so I got the 90 to start with -- glad to hear you like that size! Tight lines! Roger, the Smiling BassHole
I was so excited about this bait when it was first announced. But now that I find out you have to do some voodoo spells on them so they run right, eh. I have the mid-size. All I wanted to do was rig it weedless and be able to fish it around/thru cover.
So I bought the smallest version and honestly I got so frustrated with it that I just gave up. I had a two ot hook and it worked great in my pool but as soon as I got to the lake it just didn’t work. I think I may of had a reel that was too fast because half the time it wouldn’t swim right and half the time it just wouldn’t sink. It’s a cool bait but they should of put the nail weight in it from the beginning. Personally I probably won’t fish with them anymore (which stinks because they were expensive) but it’s a cool bait. Maybe I’ll give them a try in the future but right now it’s a no go from me.
I just got a pack of 90mm pumpkinseed color baits. I fished them yesterday but I didn't get bit the whole time. I did see a couple run towards at the bait but changed their mind kinda action. I'm trying putting a screw lock in the nose and run a 1/0 drop shot hook through the middle of the screwlock then right up & out of the nose like a dropshot. If you insert a Neko weight threw the bottom of the lower jaw you can get better control and full body swim action. I was catching more fish with a worm so I put down the Gilly. When bass go into schooling here real soon, I bet I can get some great action throwing it with a little bit of weight to keep the head going downwards. I only got the 90mm versions is because I'm looking for that particular size in the early springe. That size is chased alot more here than the bigger size.
I got these early on. I'm super skeptical of the nose hook method with so much for the fish to grab without even getting the hook. I like the bait, but it makes me nervous how soft these are. I've torn these up just trying to rig them (different rigging). Just my opinion, and it may not be worth much, lol.
On the mid sized u can put a hitch hiker and screw it completely in the nose and insert the hook through the hitchhiker’s hole. Keeps them from tearing nose out.
I take my 8yr old son fishing and as much as he likes trying to catch a bass, he gets bored and wants to go back to slamming bluegill. On the little suburban ponds, there will be monster schools of small sunfish which makes it easy for him to get bit. But what I love are those dark shadows lurking around the edges of those same schools. You will see a big ole greenish-silver flash through the middle of the swarm, but those bass actually become hard to catch. I think its a case of the real meal being so easy, they ignore any sort of lure. Just bought a few bags of these and am looking forward to giving them a try. Appreciate you taking the time to explain the rigging. Also, am a huge fan of your podcasts. Keep up the good work!
I gotta try the screw lock I've just been using a ewg and I'm having issues with tearing around the nose I've found for me I like a1/32 nail weight on that 110 when I side rig keeps it running perfect even when I'm burning her over grass. Thank you for the awesome tips brother as always I greatly appreciate it 👍🏻👊🏻💯🎣🇺🇸
Definitely going to purchase the gilly appreciate the breakdown on rigging several different ways. Also Bass forecast is something i have been using the last 3 months and it is incredible
That was my first thought about how I do want to rig this thing when I get it. It was good to show others that do not know what to do good video buddy.
Hey Mr rudd that way a good video thanks for the tips on what hook to use that's what I wanted to know. Because I think that's the best swimbait Berkeley has ever come out with the action of that bait is fantastic. Thanks for the time you spend makeing these videos for us so we can become better angler's. I'm not a subscriber I use to use a hook similar to what you have. Anyway god bless you and your family your pal fisherman Mike from Missouri. Ps hey Mr rudd what do you think I think I should become a subscriber great info bud appreciate that thanks again.
I originally bought the gilly for fish on beds and rigged it like your second example. The bass would get pissed real fast! Since I've started rigging the 3rd way. It gets bit but not as much.
Wow. I saw one of your videos before when you put it through the eyeballs. It worked. I love this video. I have been trying to figure out the best way. Thanks Alex!
Hello Mr.Rudd I cannot find those Gilly's at my Cabela's here in El Paso TX I'm trying to get the 90 .....thank you again and again and again I've learned so much from you within 4 years God bless you happy holidays
The first rig with the 90.. is just to light no action no weight never works. It doesn’t glide when it falls it just lays dead falls… come on someone has to know how to rig this thing
Mr. I hope you are working with Berkeley, because you nailed that video for me, I got more info from you in a few minutes than most could tell in a day. This is a super cool video, I’ve been setting here busting my brain on how to rig it, and you made it super simple. I have had this Gilly for several weeks wondering how to rig it. Thanks 🙏 for your great knowledge. Be blessed.

Agreed. I’ve just playing with which size to use. I’m liking the large size the most.
@@AlexRuddFishing I just ordered some 110s tonight to mess with. The 90s have been a blast on small ponds. I'm impressed with the durability.
Great advice!

Mb try a Shallow Screw and a Nail Lead for the Belly
Lazy. 😢
I've been fishing it and it definitely works, I have a bunch of chasers too, I wish they would commit more to it

If you get a chance, I highly recommend using a coffee straw and treble hook for a line-thru method. I've had success doing this with all sizes.
Do you run that top hook or bottom?
Get a pack of caprisuns for the pointy straws
@@No-wayjose0 even with the pointed straws still gotta use a paper clip or something to make sure it stays cleared out
Great video, showing different rigging options, Short and to the point. What will the bass do if I throw a live bluegill in there space?
Nose hook use a Screw lock and crazy glue nail weight in belly right behind the eye and perfect.
Thanks for making this video brother. Definitely provides some good insights. I think that will do good on my local lakes

New to channel !! Thanks for Gr8t info. Love me some Bass Forecast. New Sub !!!
Great info! Thank you. As of late, I could use all the help I can get. I just subbed.
What lure did you use to catch that badass beard?
do you think you could rig a gilly on a tokyo rig? I was thinking it might be good for pond fishing.
Thats my buddies favorite way to rig it.
Sweet. Needed these. Thanks Alex!

Thank you for the awesome tips brother as always I greatly appreciate it 👍🏻👊🏻💯🎣🇺🇸
Yeah I think going back with screw lock myself. I would definitely use a ring in eye of hook for whatever reason it keeps the bait swimming straight.
LIKE No. 1K, BABY!!!
Definitely going to purchase the gilly appreciate the breakdown on rigging several different ways. Also Bass forecast is something i have been using the last 3 months and it is incredible
I had it and deleted it cause I didn’t really believe it worked like that, how has it been since you posted this comment lol?
My buddy Just got some and he bought me a pack, hopefully I'll get em soon.
Best video for this damn bait hahaha thank you
Add a small rattle to all 3 methods. Killer!!
I didn't land any of the fish that bit but it got big bites... side rigged with the exact hook you used do I just need to wait longer?
Articulate . You should be a school teacher
I use to be 👊🏻
Thanks so much for this video!
That was my first thought about how I do want to rig this thing when I get it. It was good to show others that do not know what to do good video buddy.
I would prefer the JDM original... the Issei Gill Flat
Iv been killing them with the small one on a drop shop
Thank for this video! I bought this lure and now I'm ready to try and catch! What's the color of small one (90)? Crappie or sunfish? Thanks
I gotta put in some lore work with them.. just got the 2 bigger sizes but haven’t thrown them yet
Rudd is the GOAT.

I use the smaller gilly on a chatterbait
Anyone ever slow troll it? Been thinking 🤔
I originally bought the gilly for fish on beds and rigged it like your second example. The bass would get pissed real fast! Since I've started rigging the 3rd way. It gets bit but not as much.
Anybody have a good weedless method for the 90 size? Curious what size hook you are using?
Great video! Thank you. How many fish are you getting out of each bait?
Wow. I saw one of your videos before when you put it through the eyeballs. It worked. I love this video. I have been trying to figure out the best way. Thanks Alex!
Just another Berkeley ripoff. Please just use the issei gillflat instead
Thats got to be a terrific bed bait. Much more realistic than Dean Rojas bbb lil bream shaped lure he used on bed fish
Ty! I've been trying to figure out how to fish this correctly!
#watchingfromNC
Good info sir Each 1 TEACH 1 4 SURE AMEN ✌️😉
Thanks for the info Alex !!! I can't wait to get acclimated to this system ...
Thank You Alex.
That’s explains a lot of questions I had.
Like the new ideas you came up with.
Meant to comment on this earlier it have you tried a line through option with a coffee straw? I like that one as well.
Just caught a 6 on the smallest size they gave bc they didn’t have the biggest
They fall apart too easy
Wacky jig head works good too. Bait mods are always fun
I have had no luck with this bait. I really thought this was going to be the deal.

I’ve got a link in the description for Tackle Warehouse you can pick them up there.
Thanks I like how you give advice and show techniques
great video
Thanks , Im trying them for first time this season.
Good stuff
Just bought some for the first time.
Thanks for the tips.
Just ordered some 110’s. Thx for the tip.
is there a weedless rig for the small gilly?
Thank you enjoyed the video
Glad you enjoyed it
Zero confusion is my middle name.
Good stuff. Thanks for the vid
What about rigging it on a frog hook?
What color do you prefer?
Good video, thank you
thanks for sharing
Those gillys are sweet!
What color is that 90mm one? Doesn’t look like any of the colors on TW. 🤔
HD Pumpkinseed and Blue Shiner Gold are my two favorites. I’m seeing 10+ stock on everything.
@@AlexRuddFishing must be the pumpkin seed one, it looks different in your vid vs. the photo on the site.
Thanks brother
Great advice!
What size hook and weight for the 90 & 110?

The first rig with the 90.. is just to light no action no weight never works. It doesn’t glide when it falls it just lays dead falls… come on someone has to know how to rig this thing
Never?

Three ways to skin a gilly ha ha ha !!!!!
