Question about Masterlure jointed eels

[pops]

it looks like an old barrel swivel cut in two and the barrel drilled....

[thefishingfreak]

something like this??

[Canalman]

Sheesh! Lets see the whole plug... I've seen the nostrils and the guts... what's she look like???

[stripercrazy]

the hook's not cut, the swevel had to be built with the hook, vic the only way I can think that they did it would be the top hole in the barrel part,has to be bigger. with a tab at the end of your wire run it down the larger top hole(so the tab fits) down thru the smaller hole on the bottom, wrap the loop with hook. then run your thru wire thru the drilled hole in the middle of the barrel. is the top hole bigger? I didn't look. ed

no it looked just link a barrel swivel with the top loop cut off (just the bottom loop) and the barrel part was drilled for a hole to thru wire thru it. and the bottom loop was wraped(like a tail rap)with a uncut hook
