When you need to turn up the heat – take your fishing from a 10 to an 11 – there’s VMC RedLine Series hooks and jigs. Inspired, designed and engineered with the help of Rapala’s top bass fishing pros, RedLine Series hooks and jigs have been designed and engineered for the highest level of tournament action.
Introduced in 2023, VMC continues to expand the RedLine Series to anticipate every possible tournament situation. New additions to the RedLine Series include:
RedLine Series Tungsten Swimbait Jig – RedLine Series Tungsten Swimbait Jigs features a round-ball head, which provides the best return on forward facing sonar. It has been engineered with a lightweight conical bait keeper located at on optimal spot on the shank of the VMC 1X strong, forged round bend Vanadium Steel hook to allow soft plastics to collapse around it, holding them in place, while not throwing the presentation off-balance.
The lead-free weight has the weight sizes laser etched on the heads for quick reference and will not come off with use. The jighead is painted in a matte grey. The hook has a needle point for super-fast penetration and has a P.T.F.E. coating to reduce friction at the point of the bite.
This jig comes in six weights with a 1/0 hook (1/8 oz. to ¾ oz.) and six weight sizes in a 3/0 (1/8 oz. to ¾ oz.) hook. Sold two per pack, the VMC RedLine Series Tungsten Swimbait Jig has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price starting at $7.99.
RedLine Series Tungsten Ned Head Jig – Designed for bass anglers, the RedLine Series Tungsten Ned Head Jig provides one of the best returns on forward-facing sonar. Engineered for anglers who rely upon soft plastics, the lightweight conical bait keeper is located at the optimial spot on the hook shank to allow a soft plastic bait to collapse around it, holding them in place, while not throwing the presentation off balance when retrieved.
The lead-free weight has the weight sizes laser etched on the heads for quick reference and will not come off with use. The jighead is painted in a matte black. The hook has a needle point for super-fast penetration and has a P.T.F.E. coating to reduce friction at the point of the bite.
The jig features a 1X strong, forged hybrid wider gap to maximize hook sets and a hybrid bend for extra strength. Made with Vanadium steel, the hook features a needle point and P.T.F.E. coating for deeper penetration.
The RedLine Series Tungsten Ned Head Jig is lead free. It comes in four sizes, 1/8 oz., 3/16 oz., ¼ oz., and 3/8 oz. It has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price starting at $6.99. It is sold two per pack.
RedLine Series Heavy Duty Wide Gap Hook – New RedLine Series Heavy Dut Wide Gap hooks are designed for big bass in heavy cover – where the use of heavy-duty rods, reels and line is essential. Designed for professional tournament use, RedLine Series Heavy Duty Wide Gap hooks are made with Vanadium Steel and features an offset needle point for more hook-ups and faster penetration. Available in sizes 3/0, 4/0 and 5/0, the hook offers a resin closed eye for more secure knots. It has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $8.29.
RedLine Series Finesse Treble hook – When the conditions call for a slower, more finesse presentation, the RedLine Series Finesse Treble is ready for action. Offering a pro-driven design for maximum hook ups, this hook features an inline eye and a straight needle point, which translates into a wider gap – meaning more hook-ups. It’s manufactured with super strong Vanadium Steel and features a needle point. It has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $7.99.
