Thanks for the answer, but it brought up a couple more questions. I'm having a hard time picturing how you would roll the eel skin up over the front of the bait to tie it off, without ruining the swimming action imparted by the lip? How much skin to you leave off the back of the bait, as long as the rear treble or farther? You say not to let them dry out, do you store them with some water & salt in the zip-lock or just the salt? Salt and hooks normally don't mix well, doesn't the storage method cause a lot of rust or do you pull the hooks when storing?

Love to see a picture, as they say; a picture is worth a thousand words. Anyone got a digital camera and some eelskin plugs? Tight lines.
