Product Information
Full details
The Red Gill Cod/Pollock Selection Pack (RGE17899) is designed for saltwater anglers targeting predatory species like cod and pollack from both boats and shorelines. It provides a versatile mix of lure sizes and weights, delivering the classic Redgill tail action that effectively mimics natural prey. While the lures are highly effective at minimizing snags due to their specific design, users should note that the kit requires a basic understanding of retrieve speeds to maximize the specific action of the two different lure lengths.

FAQs
Can I use these lures in freshwater?
While designed for saltwater species like cod and pollack, the tail action can be effective for large pike or zander in freshwater environments.
Do I need to add extra weight?
The lures come with internal weighting. In very deep water or strong currents, you may need to attach a small lead swivel upstream, but generally, they are ready to use.
How long do the tails last?
The durability depends on the number of fish caught and the tooth structure of the target species; they are designed to be resilient but may require replacement after significant use.
What is the best line weight for these?
15lb to 25lb braid is typically recommended for this selection pack to balance casting ability with the strength needed to haul fish from rocky areas.
Are the hooks replaceable?
The hooks are integrated into the internal weight design; therefore, they are not easily replaced by the user.
Troubleshooting
Lure is failing to swim correctly
Check that the tail is not bent from storage; gently warm the tail in hot water to restore its original shape.
Frequent snagging despite design
Ensure you are using a slightly faster retrieve speed to keep the lure above the thickest part of the kelp or debris.
Hooks showing surface rust
Use a fine-grit honing stone to remove surface rust and ensure the hook point remains sharp for future use.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Internal weighting system drastically reduces snags on seabed debris
- Contains a variety of sizes suitable for different target species sizes
- Signature Redgill tail action is highly effective for pollack and cod
- Ready-to-fish design requires no complex rigging
Cons
- Requires careful storage to prevent tail deformation
- Lighter 115mm lures may be difficult to cast in heavy winds
- Limited to specific color palettes provided in the pack
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, tie these lures directly to your leader using a loop knot to allow the lure to move freely in the water. For the 178mm lures, a medium-heavy spinning setup is recommended, whereas the 115mm versions are best paired with lighter rods to maintain casting distance. After every saltwater session, rinse the hooks with fresh water and dry them completely before storing to prevent corrosion. Avoid storing the lures in direct sunlight or compressed against other plastic lures to maintain the integrity of the soft tail material.
