George,
That is one real nice live eel bag - I thought you were strictly a plugger?
All kidding aside - nice work. Is it dacron?

I used military spec 1000 denier nylon, Dennis. Might try one out of 10oz dacron sail cloth (but I think this codura stuff is tougher). The tubes and end caps were the toughest part to find (easy in retrospect, however). Bought an ancient heavy weight homestyle Singer sewing machine, which was adequate but far from ideal.
It actually turns out to be not that difficult. Figuring out the layout, cutting stuff, and getting the assembly sequence right is harder than the sewing part (which obviously I suck at). Thank god for seam rippers. The material cost is not much, maybe 20-30 bucks a bag, half of which is the tubes. The equipment cost to do it right, however, could get steep. It was fun and I'm sure I'll make some more..........once I finish the pink frilly tutu that Back Beach needs to fish a plug.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

that is great. I have been working on a design and am ready to make the pattern. I was also wondering if you used dacron and if so, how hard is it to sew?

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

Hey Mike, I still think it would make a better eel tote. Has nice belt loops, leader/eel rag pocket. I'm sure it has some grommets for drainage. Who would have thought George would come up with developing the first custom eel tote? Do you think George would make us one? It will now be forever known as the "Numbskull Eel Tote". Aquaskinz or VS might be copying it soon
