They do look nice. I still root for "our" guys, but because they are well priced they will definitely find their way into a few bags, including mine. I'll give anything a whirl once.

Happy face
Hopefully they wouldn't have too much of a happy face when old Ms. Linesides gobbles them down.

You can see the lead in the top eel. It looks to extend slightly past the first hook, though that could just be some of the flash material. At that price I think they will find a place in many bags. The customs are nice but one bluefish and

Too light for the Canal
Possibly too heavy for a lot of beaches.
Probably ideal for some shallower inlets--Pogue Gut, anyone?

Look good - I will give them a shot. Bet they will work great at Pips Rip during slack tide and with a little movement.  Rigged with the hooks up may prevent a few hang-ups also.
