Keep a PJ wobblehead in your bag...

Last night a few of my eels didn't make the trip... slaaped them on a woble head and scored a couple extra fish. DEFINITELY something you NEED in your bag if you eel.

jf - do you just slip the hook through their heads? No rigging, tying them on?

Thumbs up

Black wobble head + black 9" sluggo. I almost jumped in myself..

I use a moderate retrieve, sometimes twitching, letting the eel fall and flutter if a steady retrieve isn't working.

Second that.

The dead slow retrieve doesn't really work,at least for me anyway.

Anyone have luck with them in the daytime with a white 9" sluggo, or arkansas shiner/alewife color 9" sluggo or black/white Hogy - heck any soft plastic hanging off the end of them in the daytime? I am heading out to Sandy Neck/PI Refuge tomorrow for a day at the beach for the family and was going to throw in the rod, sluggos and some plugs. Figure to make it a combo trip.

For those fishing Sluggos and/or Surf Hogs behind wobbleheads try putting a Sluggo weight in the tail. Makes for an even nicer wobble.
