I'll have the eels in a mesh bag in the belt. The plug bag will be for a couple of plugs/bucktails/leaders. Wanted something small when primarily using eels - The Edge carries them - cheap BW Sports bag.

Hey Thanks BW - fun project.

Reebok, I used a about 1.5" needle big enough confortably hold 30lb Fireline. Used the backstitch. Doubled over about 18" after threading the needle and took the two loose ends together and tied an overhand knot. Just like the first step in the rigged Sluggo. After that you can check out various stitching videos on the backstitch.

Here's one from the Dharma Initiative

I was under the impression you were going to dump the eels in the larger bag.


Good Job

Thanks Flap. If your talking about the rope. The idea came from Hunter, who has built in two clips at the bottom corner of his bags for the same purpose.

On the extra strap: I always like the price/functionality of the BW bags, but felt they are short on Velcro. Also, they may not hold up as long as say a Van Staal bag, but this won't be my everytrip bag anyway.
