Masterlure eels
Here's a big group of Masterlure eels I just finished for a swap on the other site. I'm very happy I built a few extras for myself and I just might have one for trade a plugfest. The first picture shows my version in comparison to the original. They swim down 1-2 feet on a normal retrieve. I'll probably rig my own with a flag tail but the swim best with 3 trebles as they balance out the plug. They weigh in at 3 3/8oz and measure 9".

Great plugs.
I'm curious, what does your original weigh? I've seen several versions.

I used a unmodified Pikie 3. The original also has a pikie 3 but its bent much different. This caused me to change the weighting and slightly modify the body.

Thanks. I have one that looks identical to yours. It weighs 3.75oz and has a weight each side of the joint. I think the later versions with the cupped eyes were lighter (but don't have one to check). |
