Ribonfish or Eel - you decide

I saw these in FL a couple weeks ago - I guess they're used down there to go for king macs. I thought they may make a good eel imitation. Anyone ever used them??

I have looked at them a few times and think they would make a good eel sub. for trolling. Only thing is the price is a bit high so if Clammer gets on the boat put them away so the BLUES don't get them.

King mackeral love to eat ribbonfish

those look very similar to an eel but I bet they cast like crap.
better off with a rigged eel or the new rubba

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Agreed...thats a trolling rig and for the money you can do better.
Though you could fish it off a breachway or good inflow outflow somewhere.

Good health and family

They dont look bad but why have three treble hooks? I think 2 j hooks on the back would be fine

Funny...I was just thinking the same thing looking in Melton's last weekend. Hard to tell until you have it in your hand and try to cast one.
