Scored on a Surf Hog

[RIJIMMY]

Terrible fishing Saturday night, wind was nuts, a lot of unfishable areas. I headed to an outflow that had a ripping current. I did not plan to fish there so I did not have many jigs. I had glued one of Nebe's black surf hog eels to a 3 oz lead head and let her rip into the current. Second cast, wham, landed a keeper. The night was looking promising, then I lost the rig on the next few casts. If I was armed with more jigs and hogs, I think I would have done much better. I had nothing else on me that could get deep enough.......

The operative question:

Was it a steenky or not?

PS: The Avet box still reeks.

We will have to try some of those out Jim at that spot next time..I got some rigged to go.

My favorite part of the Surf Hog Eel is the way it can carry a LOT of lead in it's belly.

Makes for a great casting piece of plastic that still sinks slowly.

It was stinky, marinated in bunker oil for a week or so.......

Yea, they plane right back to the surface if you want even weighted 2-3-1 with the big sluggo weights.

I have yet to catch a fish on any plastic eel imitation thingies. I have not tried "stinky" yet.

I use one for the first time up on the Cape, white 10" no added weight, fished it like a jerk bait, cast well, had one good take and drop the fish, felt good thou. Looked great in the water, big fish bait for sure. Chris

good going Jim

I have come to the conclusion that there is no wrong way to rig them... lead in the belly, a lead head, lead shoved in the head.... it all works

I still like to carolina rig em!
