Eel skin rig, info

[beamie]

Guys,

I have a couple of these down in the Man Cave. As you can see I was fooling around with the Powder Paint. These were given to me when I was a boy and never have used them.

Do any of you guys use these? And what is its history? How long of an eel skin would you use? I can catch some radiator hoses in the North River.

Was thinking about putting it on the wire rod and dragging it through the sand like a bucktail.

Any info would be interesting to hear. Hope the image comes out correctly.
