I have hybrid bluegill in my pond and yes they will work but not as good its hard to get small ones and mine are about a lb or bigger they look like they would be good to eat but they are all bone you cant get as much meat of a big hybrid as you can a small reg but i have used them.

i've used hybrids b4 and seen no difference to me, but you'll also catch crossbreeds of sunfish in bodies of water, don't know if you would consider them "hybrids"also

Hey all...I know some people have been asking about the legality of using bluegill (or other game fish) as bait. Here's what I just got from the ODNR:
"Bluegill may be used as a bait fish. However, since bluegills are
considered a game species, they need to be caught by legal methods
before being used as bait. Bluegill may only be taken by angling. The
use of cast nets or seine nets is prohibited."
I hope this clears up any questions about using bluegills for bait.
