Wow, bluegill topic becomes hotly contested :) Trying to say which one is best is pretty subjective I think. I could find a three 10 pounders and throw all of the half dozen bluegill type lures I own at them. One fish might eat the Mattlures and the next 10lber might eat the Bettencourt and the next might want a Castaic.

Me personally, I've never caught a huge fish on a bluegill imitator, but I've tried them plenty on bed fish, and it's like I said above, you get different looks from different fish. If you are serious on bed fishing you should probably have them all.
