Cheferson -
Go by Edwards and ask for Joe Martins, he's an S-B member, tell him Crafty sent ya - they got eels in the freezer.
Then you can do a real "bait tail" by using the last 4-6" of the dead eel hooked on a jig head. Trust me, it works.

Just be sure the hook on the jig head is
real stout, if you get my drift. In fact, PM me, I'll give ya some.
Waste not want not, as any good Yankee'll tell ya.
