The Berkley PowerBait Gilly Swimbait is a top-tier artificial lure designed to resemble live bait as closely as possible. Developed by renowned angler Mike “IKE” Iaconelli, the champion of the Bassmaster Classic, this swimbait is engineered to appeal to predatory fish through both its visual and olfactory senses. With its Japanese-inspired design, the Gilly Swimbait successfully imitates the natural appearance and swimming movement of baitfish, making it irresistible to bass and other game fish.
The swimbait's hollow head not only allows for effortless compression when a fish strikes, enhancing hook-up rates, but also contributes to its buoyant swimming posture, emulating a live baitfish's behavior. This well-thought-out feature makes the swimbait an excellent choice for anglers looking to up their game. The PowerBait Gilly Swimbait's infusion with the exclusive PowerBait flavor encourages fish to hold onto the lure longer, substantially increasing the chances of a successful hook set.
Available in a variety of colors, including the realistic HD Tru Colors and vibrant standard injected colors, the PowerBait Gilly Swimbait can be selected to match the local forage or to stand out in different water conditions and light levels.
