Hi Jim..Yeah, I guess I ain't no genteel eel-skin rigger. That skin was one of the last of it's size at Maco's. I took it even with flesh attached. Luckily the bass found it passable. But you are in the same boat as I, now...are you going to keep left overs and skin 'em yourself?
Interestingly I guess Maco's used to sell them by the bucketful to canal rats in the glory days.....also on Friday nights of the same era, #^&#^&#^&#^& told me he sold DOZENs of those gold hook/red float "Striped Bass" rigs to those passing through campers headed for Race Point for the weekend....along with the same # of flats of seaworms. It was THE setup for bassing out there....not much plugging goin' on....sheesh. The times they are a changin'.
You sure there isn't a Eel Skins R Us in the ads in the back of SWS or Field & Stream?.....Hmmm....I see an opening here...selling eelskin franchises. There is not a lot related to chasing fish that isn't available mail-order...
