    Great sand eel lure!

    Worked great on Striped Bass feeding on sand eels in the surf. I particularly like the size, shape and strength of the hook. Great lure!

    Bass love em!

    I fished this eel a lot this fall here in Massachusetts. It was really fun to fish around any structure where I would traditionally fish a live eel. Easy to fish and always gets the response I’m looking for. I’ve found that a slow retrieval and slight switches of the rod tip, give this lure a very life like action.

    Definitely a go to lure on my boat from April-November.

Dropping “Eels” for Stripers in A Kayak: A Shallow Water Approach

The Historical Roots of Dropping Eels from a Kayak The tradition of dropping eels from a kayak has deep roots, especially in shallow waters where striped bass and other predators frequent.
