Ladies and Gentlemen....the $2,000 eelie is here!

My wife laughed this morning when I told her this thing cost me a mortgage payment, but I wasn't kidding....anyways here's the specs on my first completed project...just took it for a swim...

Spacing of hooks and weights per Numbskull's recommendations in another thread.

7.5 " douglas fir body.

Lefty 2 lip hi slot.

.265 belly weight.

Weight is 3.5 oz....if it was built out of pine it would be considerably lighter. The fir piece I used was on the heavy side.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
