What lures should I use for catching bluegill or other sunfish. Worms are good but I don't want to use a lot of live bait.

Small spinners, And small grubs or wax worms and any small worms you can find in the dirt should work fine

Yup, rooster tails always seem to do the trick for me. Little curly tail grubs too.

I use trout magnets a lot for bluegill. Bass love them too.

The larger size (crappie magnets) have caught me sunfish, large mouth bass, white bass, catfish, skipjack, etc. They work well attached to a beetle spin.

I use them with 4lb mono on an ultralight.

I like the orange/chartreuse and white/chartreuse crappie magnets.

Gold, white, or pink trout magnets have worked the best for me.

Agree on the small spinners... Panther Martin makes some small ones.

Also, try this little fella... he catches them all. It has great action and suspends on a dime...

Popping flies on a light fly rod are the most fun bluegill catching there is...

Beetle spins work and check out a bait called a mini mite. Bluegills and crappie love them.

Yep, Crappie nuggets on a jig is fun and you’ll catch a lot of bluegill and maybe some Crappie. Any jig with chartreuse will work. At least here they work. Just sayin..🤔
