Berkley Powerbait HD Tru Colour Gilly 90mm HD Bluegill

So Real, Bass Think It's Live.

When bass are feeding on forage fish, nothing beats presenting them with exactly what they're already hunting. The Berkley Powerbait HD Tru Colour Gilly 90mm in HD Bluegill is one of the most lifelike soft plastic swimbaits on the market — and bass know it. The result? More strikes, more follow-ups, and more fish in the boat.

Why the HD Tru Colour Gilly Stands Out

• HD Tru Colour Technology: Berkley's HD Tru Colour formula uses high-definition pigments that replicate the exact colour, translucency, and flash of a live bluegill — down to the subtle colour shifts and natural sheen. Bass see this bait and react like it's real prey.
• Realistic Bluegill Profile: The 90mm Gilly body shape closely mimics a live bluegill — the number one forage fish for largemouth and smallmouth bass across North America. The natural proportions and body shape trigger instinctive predatory strikes.
• HD Bluegill Colour Pattern: A highly realistic bluegill colouration with natural blue-green tones, subtle flash, and lifelike translucency. Works exceptionally well in clear water where bass can closely inspect their prey before striking.
• Powerbait Construction: Made from Berkley's soft, durable Powerbait compound that holds its shape through repeated strikes and maintains a natural, lifelike action in the water — cast after cast.
• Versatile 90mm Size: A medium-sized swimbait that works across a wide range of presentations and water depths — from shallow flats to deeper structure — and appeals to a broad size range of bass.

How to Fish It

Rig it on a weighted swimbait hook and retrieve it with a steady, moderate pace — let the natural body action do the work. Works great on a Ned rig, drop-shot rig, or Carolina rig for slower presentations. The HD Bluegill pattern is especially effective in clear water, spring and summer forage feeding periods, and when bass are suspended over structure or flats. A go-to bait for anglers who want a realistic forage presentation that consistently produces.
