Eel Bob Take 1
Picked up some pj eel bobs over the weekend and thought I'd give em a try this week on the rocks. There was some information out there on them in a few threads and DZ's article on tattoo's site, but no real good explanations on rigging them.
From what I found, (rigging them Newport style), you skin about 2.5" starting right behind the pectoral fins, give the eel the chop right where you started to skin it, hook it, then tie the loose skin back over the tail wrap on the bob. I threw some dacron with a lock knot along the hook shank to add a tad more bite. Looks like these puppies will have sick action with the swing hook.
Thoughts, comments, tips and criticism please, these don't look anywhere near as clean as the pictures of the rigged eel bobs on tattoo's site..
