Recently got a dark sleeper (bluegill color) in 1/2 ounce and the smaller Sleeper Gill. Fished them last week and had some swipes on the Gill. You have to check that dorsal every time it comes in because the weeds will flare it and expose the hook. Love how they swim and look forward to having some success with them.

The Dark Sleeper is probably the best lure I have used in the Great Lakes region, ever. I have caught fish in various bodies of water in all kinds of situations with the Sleepers and it seriously works everywhere. It really became my go-to bait this year - everything up here hates gobies and wants to kill them, but you can also mimic really any baitfish with these and mix up the retrieves so much. Can't say enough good things about these!

I'll have to try jigging them, it was my #3 fish catching lure this year fishing it like a swimbait. I caught a lot of largemouth this summer burning them over weed beds as well. Some of my biggest fish large and small mouth were on the 3/4 Oz and my biggest 2 saugeyes were on the 3/4 Oz. and I got a 42" muskie on the 3/4..That beefier profile is great for big fish.

Sure, it's a good lure! Smaller 3/8 size (2.4") casts further than little bit bigger 1/2 size (3") cuz of air resistance. Smallies are ok but if good size Largemouth Bass jumps above water and shakes its head, often it spits out this lure with that one hook from its mouth. To put small size treble follow that one lure's hook, would help to get more Largies but it also would damaged fish more. This is just my opinion and I could be wrong. Btw, Nathan, thank you for awesome videos!

Want to improve production. Improve your background, and get a ring light. Much cheaper and far more effective than a huge camera and “L” glass. Use f1.8 or lower to separate you from the background. Plus some post-exit presets or LUTs to add dynamic colour contrasts in the highlights, Mids and shadows. Maybe play with reflector to for some bounce fill light

I gotta say, I made a pretty silly mistake when purchasing. I thought 1/2 ounce would be heavy compared to my 3/8 jighead swimbait but I forgot to add the weight of the swimbait. The entire megabass sleeper being a half ounce is noticeably lighter in the water vs my ballhead rigs. It may be the design of the bait but it seems to climb the water column at a pretty confusing rate... at least to me.

Besides the Eyes Falling off, and these really don't work as well as one would think. Number of people in my area have fished these. Sad to say they do not work at all in heavily pressured waters. This probably works great in ponds or any body of water that hardly gets ant fishing pressure. For what you pay for the name brand these are not going to last at all. I have bought 3 different types of these from tackle warehouse and local shops these all fail in quality. it Just falls apart. Thank you though for sharing your views on it. Please if you can use it record it and show us how to use it. Im sure there might be something I'm doing wrong...
