Bigger Eel Skins

Does anyone know of any shops around the Ditch that are carrying larger skins? The ones I've seen are a bit too small to pull over the collar of the leads I'm using.

ps - do you guys like to make a small hole near the end of the skin?

Lookin for my big'un!

Try Maco's.

There is already a hole in the back (anal vent). Just look over the skins well as some have extra holes in them or are blown out on the arse end.

I used to get my skins at Macos..I don't know if he has them or if he is still in business. He had some beauties when I purchased them. I still have a bunch in salt in the reefer. They really piss the wife off every time she moves them. I think they are a couple of years old.

Yup that's how I got the ones that fit... but I don't fish with live bait, or even bait, much anymore these days.
