Eel Skin Details

[pbadad]

Kadir We at the Ct Surfcasters have been doing our share of skining plugs. Tinman's tip on the stiff mono in the tail helps to keep the tail section folding over and getting caught on the hook. On the length of the skin , keep the hanging part 1/3 to 2/3 of plug length. A ratio of 1.6 egualling total length is also workable. Experiment with inside out or rightside in . Dark outside: dark nites, Lightside; days, darknites or moonnites. You can tie the skins down to the lip at the plug nose or in a groove with unwaxed dental floss or braided line. The action with the right plug combo is unreal. Do test it first in the daylite for correct action. Good Luck

Very small wire/cable ties are also good for attaching skins to jigs or plugs

Also sometimes lobster calw bands will be perfect
