Leave it on there, its good mojo.  |
It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

Peppermint organic soap...slow soak warm water & good rinse with cold water...air dry
good for neoprene as well or breathables though I generally just wade deep a few times in cold saltwater minus slimy bait add ons

Good health and family

Now you know why Back Beach and I use to run the back beaches. I agree, I never washed the eel slime off of anything I wore. Who cares if I smell like an eel. the Bass will love me even more

thats what i usually do, i figure once i take a few nice waves over my head the slime usually comes off, i was packing my skins top for a trip and was attempting to keep the rest of my clothes from reaking, a plastic bag did the trick.
RIJIMMY center of your chest? What do you do, hug them for good luck?
yep, you gotta give the eels love or they wont catch...its part of the mojo  |

My Truck and the suit I have to wear to work the next day care about smelling like an eel --
Its bad enough some mornings I get in my truck with my suit on and my seat is soaked from my waders the night before from moving spot to spot. |

I rinse all my gear down, but only to get the salt off... I don't worry about the slime, but my car reeks of a combination of waders/drytop and fish slime. Like all odors, you eventually get used to it, but everytime I get into my car after a night of fishing its like "wow"  .
My wife hates taking my car and she even recommended that I buy a little truck. If I only had some spare money that would be a great idea. |
