Joe Martins has done a great job bringing back a classic bass lure that most new anglers had/have never heard about. I've been using them for years and when stripers have lockjaw - this is the ticket. One key is the swinging hook. An old timer taught me how to make and use them - and now thanks to Joe they're available to all.
Although they can be used to get live eels down in deeper water their main application is for use with dead eels or tail sections of eels. Used correctly they will out-fish soft plastics 10 - 1. See Tattoos website for more rigging info.
