Material Quality:
Protail Plastic: Made in Germany with virgin plastic, providing unmatched strength without compromising softness and action in the water.
Design and Action:
Elongated Tapers: Both sizes feature a taper that must be seen in the water to be fully appreciated, offering lifelike motion.
Rigging Compatibility:
Inshore Fishing: Designed to work seamlessly with Hogy "Classic" Barbarian jigs, which are available in weights typical for inshore fishing.
Offshore Fishing: Compatible with Hogy HD Barbarian jigs, suited for the heavier weights typical in offshore fishing.
Rigging Features:
Hook Entry and Exit: Both baits have the same hook entry marker and a forgiving hook exit zone within the battle pocket, ensuring ease of rigging.
Battle Pocket:
Enhanced Durability: This highly regarded feature allows the bait to flex while inside the mouth of a hooked fish during battle, significantly increasing the lifespan of the softbait by reducing damage during fights.
8" Eel Tails
Target Species: All inshore and Offshore gamefish, large and small.
Versatility: Casting And Jigging: The 8” tail version casts like a rocket, fishes well at all casting retrieves. If jigging, the 8” tail drops like a stone and can be fished fast and slow jigging.
Size and Presence: Medium Sized Bait fish, designed to be a multi-purpose multi species lure.
Action: Slow to Medium-fast Retrieve: The 8" eel tail is effective with a slow to medium-fast retrieve providing lifelike movement that entices finicky fish.
13" Eel Tails
Target Species: Trophy Fish: Designed for larger stripers and larger tuna.
Versatility: Lite Casting And Jigging: The 13” version doesn’t cast as easily as the 8th tail. The 13” version is more commonly used as a drop bait.
Size and Presence: Longer Profile: The 13" size provides a substantial presence in the water, making it ideal for attracting larger, more demanding fish.
Action: Slow Retrieve: The 13" eel tail is effective with a slow retrieve, ideally with slow sweeps of the rod tip, providing lifelike movement that entices finicky fish
