View Full Version : They sure as hell are hitting eels short...
likwid 05-28-2003, 12:10 PM Had a runner last night take the eel with him, was even rigged right!
Atleast its full knowledge that they're there...
Now to find a way to rig a teaser on a live eel.... :eek:
Adamfishes 05-28-2003, 02:21 PM what if you put a hook through its tail and a bucktail on the other side of the line? ehh would that work?
fishsmith 05-28-2003, 02:39 PM Let the eel go solo, more weedless and less chance for tangles at night.
JohnR 05-28-2003, 03:24 PM I usually don't use a teaser with an eel but have a little and want to do more this year and will, especially in rocky areas. Hang the teaser from a swivel - what's the big deal (other than paying 1000% attention) or am I missing something???
Adamfishes 05-28-2003, 03:29 PM im sure those little bastards would tangle them up
BigFish 05-28-2003, 03:31 PM :doh: The best teaser I can think of to rig with a live eel is probably a live herring.:fishslap: :biglaugh: :uhuh:
blackeye 05-28-2003, 03:32 PM read this outloud in your best yoda voice "patience young jedi, you must let him run before you give him the business"
likwid 05-28-2003, 03:36 PM Well, not a teaser per say, but more of a tail hook... make the bastards who hit short pay ;)
fishsmith 05-28-2003, 03:43 PM When you do tie on a teaser, do you tie it to the ring attached to your mainline or the ring attached to the hook? I would guess you tie it to the mainline ring to give it some seperation.
blackeye 05-28-2003, 04:06 PM that would be a stinger hook. I wouldn't try that with a live eel, it's hard enough to keep him from knotting up with one hook in him.

yeah, with a whole fresh squid as a "teaser teaser"
nor-easter 05-28-2003, 04:15 PM Any Striped Bass worth catching will take that eel head first. The smaller fish grab the eel by the tail and run off to smack it in the rocks and try to get it lined up to eat.
Who wants those little "Tail Biters"? Not me!
Give that eel a head hook and get it out there and catch a decent sized fish!
Have fun doing it!
Good Luck
Good Fishing.
likwid 05-28-2003, 04:28 PM Yeah, you're right putting some thought into it about the habits of the elusive striper ;)
The shorts always tail fish.... like a blue...
Steve K 05-29-2003, 10:40 AM Fishsmith,
Tie it to the ring that is attached to the hook otherwise you could have two fish that could pull apart the barrel swivel.
fishsmith 05-29-2003, 11:50 AM thanks steve.
