Found some of the knockoff redgills when I was out fishing one day. Seem identical to the redgill except the plastic is not as supple and they say GILLY back near the tail. Haven't used em' so I can't say anything about performance. Wish I could find more 5 1/2" redgills down to my last 2, catching doubles is a blast.

I love them red gills. They have also saved my nights many times. funny storie about them, last year I was using one up infront of a beachmaster when I got hammerd. The fish felt heavy but fought strange. After 20 minutes I beached the bass. Now this was one of those dark nights so all I could see was the head beached and the tail moving back about 60 inches. talkabout craping your self I thought I had my monster, but it just ended up being two 30+in fish laying over each other one grabbed the gill the other the danny. im such an idiot sometimes.

i got a triple of blue fish while using a red gill.

2 on plug, front hook, back hook, one on the gilly. rolling on the beach laughing.

gill came off 2 seconds after i found those fish were blues.

they KILL cod, pollock and haddock too. especially the big version.

live to fish. fish to live. rod tips high.

The knock off Gillys don't have the hole in the tail, either. They don't swim right.
