you can take any atom 40 type plug and just tie a skin up tight around the lip. the problem is finding eels that are 2-1/2' long. unless of course you all the sudden here what sounds like a BFT crashing the surface only to find out its this islander dude tossing his 3 foot eels up-tide.

my father spears eels for consumption in the summer... BIG ones... then smokes them... as a result, I have access to plenty of eel skins... contact me in the summer if you want some... hope I can help. I'm in weekapaug & 'gansset all summer

When i want A40 with skin I use plastic vintage Atom A40.Tou can pick them up at fishing shows for few bucks. Without skin, I like Lordship too.

Word of caution. Plastic A40s make great skin plugs, but the wire in old A40's tends to corrode. Twice in the last several years I have cast away my plug and found 1" of the through wire still attached to my snap. Both plugs were probably 15-20 years old. They are still the gold standard for skin plugs (if you can cast 4-4.5 oz), but don't use one that is too ancient.

skin plugs
 
How do the lordship skin plugs compair to the beachmasters? I managed to acquire through ebay (at great cost) some beachmaster jrs skin plugs. has any one fished the beachmasters and the lordships. And Ivan I will get a hold of you in the spring. I trap eels but never get ones big enough for dannies or atom forties. Thanks for your help. Charlie
