Deps Tiny Bullshooter 100 Bluegill

The Deps Tiny Bullshooter 100 Bluegill is a compact, precision-engineered swimbait that delivers all the fish-catching features of its larger predecessor in a smaller package perfectly sized to match baby bluegill and small panfish. Designed for targeting wary bass in pressured waters, this 100mm swimbait excels around weeds, docks, and other areas where small bluegill live.

The Tiny Bullshooter's effectiveness comes from the realistic water displacement created by its jointed body design. It produces a fish-drawing action even with a straight retrieve, but with the right rod work, it achieves a weaving, roaming movement and can execute dramatic 180-degree turns that trigger explosive reaction strikes from following bass.

Engineered with innovative pectoral fins made of durable PVC material that stick to the body during the retrieve, then move and hover like a live bluegill when stopped. The uniquely shaped belly fin acts like a horizontal tail, helping to prevent snags while stabilizing the bait and enhancing its natural action. The slow-sinking design allows it to hover in the strike zone, making it deadly effective for finesse presentations.
