At PlugFest, the beaded eel on the contest table. It haunts me in my sleep....:claps:

I didn't see it ... was that this year of last year ?

are you having flash backs again?

Don't know who made it but I think about it often(how it's done?).

This year. Looked like it would swim like a snake. Really great piece of creative thinking. I want the builder to have his due credit before I make some.

Did anyone snap a pic of the contest plugs?

bad attempt at humor

Was it wood ? Snakey ??? .. I missed it totally ..

The head reminded me of a Tagger skin swimmer in fact. Followed by a string of maybe 3/4 inch wooden beads and a long conical tail.. I wish that I'd picked it up and studied it, took pics and blueprinted it. If anyone got a picture of the contest table, please help a guy out....

here it is

because it's the subject of interest on the plugfest pictures thread too

I fondelllllled it,maby the builder can POST a HOW TO:uhuh: Id be interested in trying to build one. wouldent be a good, but Id like to give it a shot:bounce:
GOOD LUCK GOOD PLUGGIN

Hi I made the black plug; swims like a snake. would make a video but I don`t want to upset some members.

so go ahead..........

and have you fished it and hooked up
or just test swam it?

Hey M&M

can you post some more intel on this eel snake lure.. you have tweaked many people with this clever design and fabrication.. we think it is very clever
I for one would like to make one as well...


chris

my sons have thrown them last fall to fresh h2o bass only no salt yet.the beads I call balls[because they are a pain in the]have angled sides for sideways movement.Still R+D ing all the time trying to improve design

I think that the eel balls plug is awesome! Please post a video if you can, I don't see why anyone would be upset. Stunned maybe, but not upset... Bravo!

I am posting this for m+m

Here is a quick video of the snake in action, the gold version was used because the black one was not showing up on the video. Not the best quality maybe will take more when my good camera gets fixed.

clicky linky!

WTF! some members need to shut thier mouths. why cant we see great stuff like this because people are afraid to post because of SOME members, rediculous. hey johnr, isnt this forum supposed to be for stuff like this? why should people be afraid?

I was also fondling that plug very original design.:wavey:

This is a video of his silver diving model, a little hard to see but you get the idea.

Very impressive...I saw that too at PF and wondered what it would look like in the water. Thanks for sharing the video!

How did you produce the tail?

thanks for agreeing slip

Hey Fred, did you ever make one of these?

No, not yet. Just went to the top of the list of to-dos. Those videos ...omg!

Masterfully done! I have been going nuts over how to make a jointed eel design to make it swim like that. My hat is off to you!

must be some sort of chain running through all those bead pieces, with a larger than normal through-hole?

at least thats where I would start I think. :smash:

I think there is a FW lure that uses the same concept, it's made by MS Slammer. Amazing concept, looks like a beeyotch to make :uhuh:
