Mike Bucca Baby Bull Gill

The Baby Bull Gill is straight-up predator bait. Built by Bucca Brand, this 3.75-inch jointed hard swimbait perfectly imitates what big bass actually hunt when they’re set up shallow—bluegill that wander too far from safety.

Its compact profile and tight, controlled swim give it an eerie realism that screams easy target. Fish it slow and tight to cover, let it creep along dock edges, grass lines, and bedding areas, and watch territorial bass lose their composure. This bait doesn’t need speed or flash—it wins with presence.

This is an underground tool for dirty water, high pressure, and bass that have seen everything else. Subtle. Menacing. Lethal.

When bass are locked in on bluegill and reacting out of instinct—not hunger—the Baby Bull Gill gets absolutely erased.
