coming soon...

a new surfhog eel.

12 inches long.. no belly, just a big head for hook holding power and a long ribbon tail. I swam this on a tin squid and couldnt believe how sexy it looked - a lazy snake on slow retrieve and if you let it drop, it would do a tight death spiral.

I can vouch for this... saw it live on my rod Sunday and it was dead sexy!!!!

I would think that getting them in white wouldn't help that much - lol

They look like they would work good, though. Eben, when do you think you will be selling them? How much for some prerigged? Thanks!

i will be releasing these within the month- Ive thought alot about how to offer them and the best idea i have come up with is to cast them with a stinger hook and about 6 inches of leader exiting the head.. that way people can have a choice of how to rig them, be it on a wobblehead, with 2 hooks ala' Mckenna, or my personal favorite- on a jig head..
Im not sure on pricing at this point- I have to make a bunch to figure out the costs... but figure somewere between 6.50 and 9.00 a piece.
