I am new to them, and there are plenty of guys who can answer it
better....but these are my impressions.
1. They are dead....
a. so they are portable and can be through used, frozen,
used....cycles until they fall apart.
b. they cast better than live
2. Durability...
a. Several fish can be caught on one- a great compromise
between an eel, hard lure, and a rigged sluggo
b. you can cast them harder than an eel
3. Attributes...
a. scent of an eel
b. motion and appearance of an eel- it is an eel.
c. the swim on these rigged eels cannot be matched by a plastic.
I have been throwing them on about 10 outings but have not
caught anything on them yet. I have been getting a lot of
schoolies striking them, following them, but no bigger models.
There are several videos out there...Zeno and Skinner have some that go into details.
