Hey Raven- with light weight hooks like the gamakatsu octopus hooks, the eel does suspend with light twitches. I like a faster retrieve personally so i load them up with 3 large nail weights in the belly and one in the tail- they cast very well weighted or not- The fat head and the slope of the nose makes it dart in a very unique way.

Spence- :whackin: :rotf2:

Nice Eben - I still like your original needlefish too.

Good luck.

Congradulations & Thank You,

Some how I missed them at the show?? I am trying to learn how to use more rubber this year, I got a bunch of Slgos and I got a bunch of the Hogy's form Mike at the show.
Were can we get your stuff??

Wish you great luck!! And if Raven is right, you are starting it at the right time of year for success!

Maybe....You never know till you try.:humpty: :humpty: :humpty:

If they are here in Ma. they are there in RI. :bgi:

small to decent keepers in the rivers and around the #%^$*&^&%$# runs.

Nebe,

welcome aboard fellow plastic peer :kewl:

Right now, the only shop that has the full line of the 8.5's is Wildwood Outfitters in wakefield RI. I have a few details to iron out with some other dealers and will be anouncing who they are in a few days.

As for pricing, they retail for 2.50 a piece- A few have questioned the higher price, and i will explain that now- because I have to glue in every eye, one at a time, it takes double the time to make them. Personally, i am a huge beleiver in the fish catching ability of eyes, and that is why i have dedicated myself into putting eyes in all of my baits.

Congrats Eben, wish you all the luck in the world. Cant wait to fish those things.

Heres a few pics of the colors i am offering-


for night fishing- Unagi (natural eel green), black and smoked eel (smoke with holographic glitter- think full moon ;) )

for sunrise/dusk or day fishing-

Pear, electric eel (transparent chartruse with holographic glitter) and Uranium ( opaque chartruse in light.. glows like a lightbulb at night)

The pearl one is how i like to rig them- For that eel i used 6/0 VMC siwash hooks, but only because i have a lot of them kicking around. they work fine, but i reccomend either Owner HD live bait hooks or Eagle Claw laser sharp HD live bait hooks. They come super sharp out of the package, are super strong, and the thick diameter of the shank acts like a keel and keeps the eel darting on a level plane without rolling.

Uranium will be the balls in my neck of the woods. Hopefully I'll be able to score some.

Good Luck with your new enterprise.

New toys
 

They look hot Nebe. Congrats and good luck.

Those things look sweet. Although i'm a little nervous about using them, what if i catch my personal best fish on a bait made by Nebe!? Oh man what would i do and could i even tell anyone?! :tooth: :hihi:

good luck eben....these things are going to hammer

shouldnt be that hard since were only talking 18 to 20 lbs :hihi: :wave:

Damn you know me to well. If you can get me a 20 on one of your baits i may even stop calling you names for awhile :hee: :devil2:

doh
 

what do you mean "IF" Maco....
of course I'm right.... it's as accurate a prediction as i can possible
make based on the data provided to me...

i wouldnt make such a statement if i didnt believe in its accuracy.

i made use of the "timing" yesterday myself...:grins:

uhuh
 

just the Answer i expected.... thankyou for the "word"

woulda ventured forth but i'm still trying to rid myself of this single nasty cold i got....from NEBE over the internet.... man , was he ever radio-active....i mean, even his lures glow in the dark. :btu:

I picked up a bunch and these things are sweet, I have been fondling them every night and have named each one of them. I cant wait to start throwing them!
Nebe makes some mean plugs too

Congrats Eben! I really look forward to fishing those things. I suspect you know your fishies - which means that anything you would produce is worthwhile in my book.

I will be down next week if I get some time. It will make up for your muscle strain :D

Dood you got something here..this WILL be many peoples go to rubber this year.

I picked up a bunch of these at the show yesterday, they were going quick! You definitely have a winner with this product Eben, they will catch large.

i am so tickled everyone likes these eels :D

just a quick note- in the next couple of days i will be adding a page to my website that will give detailed instructions on how i reccomend you rig these- They are like a sluggo, but they are also alot different. So for all of you guys who bought them, please dont rig them yet... i dont want you to do it wrong :D

stay tuned :grins:

I went this morning in the dark, naturally. I found fish but nothing to write home about. First bass of the year though...

Nice eels, Good luck Nebe:kewl:

I'll put you on a Twenty if that's all it'll take to keep you civil for a month :hee: :love:
