For bluegill you might try tieing up some 1/80th or 1/100th ounce jigs with a flo. red or flo. orange head and a hot chartreuse micro-chenille body and chartreuse marabou tail. I haven't fished them for bluegill, but it's a hot color for ice fishing crappie (and trout). My other favorite is a glow head, chartreuse micro-chenille body and white tail. For cloudy days I tie some with a few strands of pearl flashabou. For bright days you don't need the flashabou.
By the way, I started using Shrimpos, too, about 2 or 3 years ago and they are now my favorite soft plastic ice jig. Deadly where legal.
