Jointeds.. Needle and Eel

These are both projects that I started last winter but finally revisited this winter.

The jointed needle I finally got to swim right and cast. The body of the needle is 9 3/4 in long and fully rigged weighs 4oz. Total about 15in.

The jointed eel will also cast and has a great swimming action and dives to about 3 ft. The body is just over 10 in long and fully rigged weighs 3oz. Total about 16in.

Thumbs up

I like those a lot.

Lefty 2 mid slot. The mid slot gave me better casting and took longer to make it swim right than the high slot,,,
