Eelskin/no shortage here
 

Shop near me still has eels and some big girls that I've been skinning. Got some custom jrs. and a needle from Don at Afterhours and rigged those.

Then had him make me two senior 3.5oz floating needles, have a few special places in the fall that these will slay at.

Here's a few pics from the other days skinning and rigging process.

Can't wait to fish em Don! Thanks again.

Damm, I wish I could get eels that big.

Nice!

Paul I have an extra skin if you want it

Great looking plugs. Good idea using the fast links on the tail

Are the chained TA clips to give more of a serpentine tail action? Kool!

Those are the big 175lb TA Clips I used those instead of a zip tie cause the action is better, adds a touch of weight and helps keep the tail straight and swinging on the retrieve

Surfcaster ingenuity with the clips. Nice work all around. I love everything about eelskin plugs.

Brilliant!!!

Chris nice touch with the clips. those needles look great.

Maybe a silly questions... do people skin their eels and then use the skinned eels as riggies?

I thought of it but the skin is the toughness. For dead bait they would be ok.

Nice job. Chris - cow killers!

no, but thanks anyway!
