Redgill Flasher Lures 70mm

Overview

The Red Gill Original Flasher 70mm is the compact 2.75-inch version of Red Gill's classic imitation sandeel lure range, built for UK sea anglers who want a proven, traditional pattern in their tackle box.

Each pack contains four 70mm Flasher lure bodies supplied together with four Sakuma size 4 Aberdeen hooks, giving anglers everything needed to start fishing straight from the packet.

Retailers describe the lure as "Ultra Tough", and it is made in the UK, continuing the heritage of the original Red Gill sandeel design that has been a staple of British sea fishing for decades.

Perfect For

The Original Flasher 70mm is suitable for both shore fishing and boat fishing, making it a versatile choice whether you're casting from a beach, pier, or fishing over marks from a boat.

Its small 70mm profile makes it well suited to imitating juvenile sandeel, a key forage species for many UK sea predators, and it's a natural addition when building your own traces for general sea fishing.

Technical Insight

The Flasher's distinctive tail is designed to produce a lifelike imitation of an injured sandeel as it moves through the water, a movement that specialist retailers highlight as the key to its fish-attracting action.

To get the most from this action, the lure is best fished on a long flowing trace, which allows the body and tail freedom to develop their natural swimming motion rather than being restricted by a short, stiff rig.
