Eel Skin Rigs
Picked these up tonight - Thought they would look good on the wall. Homemade or mass produced? The silver one has BassTeel, Pat Pend on the sides.

The silver one is a "Bassteeler" still in production. They can be had for 3 bucks at Red Top. The other is long out of production. The BASSSTEELER is a great rig unfortunately it has cadmium plated hooks which rust up and stain your skin pretty quickly. You can counter that by putting a dime in the brine with them while in storage. The hooks will discolor but not rust up that quickly.

Why even try.........

Paul, what's with the little round doo-hickey on the back hook?

To keep the skin from sliding down the hook and up the wire. Get's to be a pain in the A. Helps the skin remain horizontal. A piece of rubber made with a punch. I didn't think of it. Probably work good on a single hook set up too. Paul
