Red Gill Teasers Rock!

What if someone were to give you the secret how to double your usual catch every time you go fishing?

How much would you pay for the secret lure that's practically proven to double, triple or catch five times as many fish on your next - and every - fishing trip you make?

Well, here it is - the secret lure to make your catches skyrocket beyond belief - for under $1 apiece.

There are two things a fish needs to do when something moves within the fish's window of opportunity:

1) It needs to validate whether this thing is food or not, and

2) If it is food, it needs to beat other fish to eat it.

The Red Gill, rigged as shown below, is already pre-validated to be food by a competing fish that is chasing the thing. So an onlooking fish can almost assume it is valid food already being chased by a competitor. The way it is rigged, the competitor (a larger lure) will never catch the thing. As the onlooking fish senses the competitor isn't closing the distance, the fish will make a pre-emptive lunge to strike the Red Gill first.

Just the other night, I caught 30 schoolie striped bass on one of these Red Gills rigged ahead of a 5-1/2" Red Fin. 27 of the stripers hit the Red Gill teaser. 3 hit the Red Fin plug. This is usual when you use a Red Gill. What would you rather catch - 3 or 30? Rig the Red Gill as shown below for the best fishing of your life.

One good hook to use is the Mustad 34007 in either stainless steel or tin-plated. The stainless rusts less. The tin-plated holds a sharper point, so it's a trade-off which to use.

The photo below shows:

• 2 each of Mustad 2/0 model #34007 stainless steel O'Shaughnessy hook
• 2 each of Mustad 3/0 model #34007 stainless steel O'Shaughnessy hook
• 2 each of Mustad 4/0 model #34007 stainless steel O'Shaughnessy hook

Sizes 2/0 and 3/0 work best for relatively smaller fish and relatively lighter tackle. Don't hesitate to big up to a 4/0 if warranted by the size of fish present or with heavier tackle.

6 Red Gill Teasers Hooks ~ 2/0, 3/0, 4/0 Stainless Steel

Step 1. Pass the line down through the nose and out the back of the body. Abrasion-resistant 20 lb. test fluorocarbon leader is used here. Tie the line on the hook.

Step 2. Pull the line back up through the nose until the hook is in position shown. Tie a barrel swivel to the line. As in this example, almost always the first tie, you will make the length a little too long. If so, you will need to retie to make it shorter. In this example, it was left a little too long (sorry).

Step 3. Tie a second longer fluorocarbon leader to the swivel, and tie the other end to a snap attached to a plug (or any lure) of your choice.

Step 4. Unsnap the plug (or other lure), and wrap the loose leader line around two fingers, making a compact coil as shown

Step 5. Store each ready-made leader and Red Gill separately in small sealabe plastic bags. Sequester in a waterproof bag or container for later use.
