eel slime
so it seems that all of my surf tops have a nice coating of eel slime around my wrists and lower arm, and at the center of my chest....so how do you guys go about removing the slime from all of your gear?

Rinse it good, leave it outside to dry and the next day it peels off like tape..........

Leave it on there, its good mojo.  |
It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole

Peppermint organic soap...slow soak warm water & good rinse with cold water...air dry
good for neoprene as well or breathables though I generally just wade deep a few times in cold saltwater minus slimy bait add ons

Now you know why Back Beach and I use to run the back beaches. I agree, I never washed the eel slime off of anything I wore. Who cares if I smell like an eel. the Bass will love me even more

Eelslime is fine on my gear...
when I get home at 1a, shower and then find it dried into the hair on my arms... it peels right off...
Been fishing ALOT more riggies this summer, much less of a problem... as long as I remember to throw them back INTO the freezer....
NIB's got it right... my pre-breathable neo waders in august .. barf bag bad for a while there...
