I don't think no one has done great on the strait one in years (at least from I hear).Jointed is another story.......It seems the strait one had done well many moons ago when large sand eels were predominant bait.Fish wanted that thin ,long silhouette.I personally have never done well on it.....The jointed one is another story.Darn thing is as close to an eel as I ever seen.Giant jointed pikes are just as good but a guy with a spinning tackle in underguned for 4 or 5 ounces these plug weigh.Eelie comes in a 2 to 2/12 ounce ,much better suited for spinning rod.Another thing to consider is a possibility of live eels being off limits ,something we might see in near future.Having said all that ,I do wish more builders would build jointed plugs even thou I know its not economical and in order to make it so the price is high ,bringing hollering from those who buy it.Darn ,its double work.No wonder no one makes them.Anyway ,I heard the same rumor ,sometimes in spring I would guess.
