well after 3 months of failures, discoveries, and more failures, i am ready to finally show these..

8.5 inches, naked without hooks they weigh 1.5 oz and the ones i am casting rigged with 2 hooks weigh 2 oz.

who needs live eels?? :hihi:

sweet, now I need rigged rubbah and a nebe dahtah!

Can everyone see Eben's avitar or is it just me ?? I cannot see it, what am I doing wrong?
:confused:

I can see it just fine. :huh:

Now that you have the right combination, are you going to put them on the market??

I can see it just fine. :huh:

Yeah...met too... She's hot!:drool:

Those Nebe eels are even hotter.

Nebetian eels :call: They look great Eben :bl:


Very Nice

Nice! Very Nice!!! I suspect that I'll need some of those.

Very nice, great profile! Good weight and length and the eyes, very realistic. I think you need my help in surf testing those babies.

Nice! Very Nice!!! I suspect that I'll need some of those.




:cheers:

It's amazing how, when faced with an either eminent or possible, crisis, the creative mind works to achieve a suitable answer to that crisis. Nebe, the creative thinking that drives your art is no less strong in your pastime. Ver nice indeed.

:thanks: believe it or not, the process i use to make these is identicle to how i cast glass. It was like i already knew how to do it, i just had to find the right materials. All i know is i got really sick of ramming a rigging needle down a sluggo and thought there had to be a way to make this better.
viola~ necesity is the mother of all invention. :wiggle:

Guys.. i can tell you first hand how cool it was to see Eben come this far with this guy... from humble beginings.....
They look better in person BTW :D the photos dont nearly do it justice.....

The gray color scheme is very metro, but a little dull.

How about some pinks and light green? Spring is just around the corner you know :humpty:

-spence

spence, that dull grey shines up nicely with smelly jelly :uhuh:

Did you glue the eyes on or are they stuck in Dumbells? They look great.

very very cool. did you test any on a tin squid?

Awesome Dude!! :btu: :btu: :btu:

you gonna get ho'd big time...:bl:

Awesome work Eben, they got eat me written all over them.:kewl:

Eben, They look very good. I thing dragging that along the sand will be vicious at night man;). Keep up the good work.

Armand

I,m not allowed on this page =BUT ==EBEN they look awesome //

I,ll PM my order now //////:eyes:

Sell them through the site......:bounce:
Ill take 50 in dark red...:btu:

Christ, those are sweet...

Mental note... things to do in 2006.
A. Meet Eben
B. Fish w/Eben
C. Bite the bullet, take a hook in the neck.
D. Sue, then settle out of court for an unspecified # of Eb-o's

Phew! I thought you and I might have had the same idea... I'll post pics later. ;)

Glad it worked out for you Eben. Look good. P.

Can you share how you accomplished this?

you are red hot... and freakin me out...those look sooo sweet.:smokin:
as good as sex.

Can you share how you accomplished this?

You'' have an easier time getting spots out of him... trust me on that...
Just know Eben's an artist...

Incredible Eben!

Awesome work Eben, they got eat me written all over them.:kewl:

I think you need to adjust your glasses. What they have written all over them is "give zac a dozen."

Ya Zach, that too. :D

very very cool. did you test any on a tin squid?
no, I tested them with everything but the squid. we dont use squids much up here in RI for some reason. I would imagine they would be great rigged up on one, as the neck of my eel is narrower than the rest of the body, thus making a hinge. the eel wiggles from the head down because of it. The action sweet behind a 2 oz. jighead in a little current :smokin:

:kewl: :btu: :claps: :hihi:

Carry on!!!

Bernzy

Those eelios look good Nebe

you got any mega eelios ? maybe longer and more slender.
I got a couple of rubbah's from canalman and it looks like you 2 guys are looking forward. I still like wood though :D

come on canalman, post your eel :wave:

Slip, my goal was to perfect this eel and i have. This is the size i think is the most deadly- the length to weight ratio seems just right for someone using a 10 foot surfrod. From here, i want to do a smaller 'elver' and then a larger 'Conger', so yeah, thats where i am headed.

all will have the same features as the 8.5 ones... i will be able to cast them with 2 rigged hooks right in them and will also make them without hooks.

:jump:

From shore the 15" could prove difficult to work but i`m expecting big things at the right places at the right times

man those look killer:ss:

Eben, I'll take a dozen of each :-)

Rigged with hooks right in the mold?? sounds like a great idea.U don't ruin the bait an glue it back together to fish it.U usin quality components??How bout a swivel on the front.

Nice ,you got the pre-rigged down eben?

Guys, i apreciate the requests for these, but my intentions of showing these eels off was simply to show them off and get some feedback. I am tickled that there is a demand for them, and hope to be able to make them available to the public, but for now, i dont feel comfortable soliciting orders for them until i can at least talk to johnR about sponsorship. My goal in developing these was to make a killer looking rubber eel to compete with the 9" Sluggo for my own use, but If there is a demand for them, i am happy to make for for those who want to use them. So for now, please keep the compliments coming, but keep in mind i wont be selling any here unless I talk to JohnR about sponsorship..

Im making these in black, smoked eel ( light smoke with glitter inside) electric eel (flourescent yellow with glitter) deadly nightshade (pearlescent black- the color spence calls metro :hihi:) ivory, and pearl white to start... might do some more fun colors later on, but for now just these colors to start.

agian, i am tickled at the responses here about these eels. I had no idea they would be so well recieved. :thanks:

EBEN

You are the M-A-N !

Nice work.

You guys had better get your orders in. Got mine in ....double digits.

Spence, BI Jeff, and I were discussing the high desirability of your new exotic customs and wondering when our case of Black would be ready?
From there we switched to a scrumtious chardonnay and tossed around our anticipation for the 10" version of your Horton Eels.

What say thee Nebe? :rollem:

Indanite, that was a 1787 Chateau Lafite!!!

-spence

Eben - could you cast them with a 4 or 5 ounce head followed by the rubber and have the hooks imbeded? That would surely take the place of eel skin rigs nicely. They look awsome..:claps: :claps:

Too funny....guy is quiet riot :rotf2:

:eek5: Wow!! I like the eyes. Nice. Lunker just lost the saltwater market.

I like the looks of them piled up too, it looks like you just dumped a bucket of eels out. Imagine how they would look trolled in an umbrella fashion:gf:

Well done! I hope to see YOU at the mass bass show.:bl:
