This thread has a number of examples. http://www.striped-bass.com/Stripert...r-stories.html

There is the standard Pichney eelie. I've fished the BM version and didn't like it. It is a surface swimmer.

There is a rare Musso eelie. I made some sight unseen copies a few years ago that run deep, cast like crap, and supposedly catch fish but I never use them. I think that is the plug BT is referring to. Turns out mine was larger than the original when I finally saw one, but it is an OK plug in its own right.

There is a Rockfish eelie that he posted dimensions on somewhere. I think Lefthook sells a version of this plug. Joe and others swear by it. I think it runs subsurface.

There is a plug of mine I call the skinny donny. Search under my name and "skinny" (and oxymoron if there ever was one). You will see what it can do, but the guy fishing it has to believe and be patient, it is very unstable and won't work at anything above a crawl.....which is very hard for most guys to tolerate.

There is also the Masterlure straight eel. Habs made a version (the Stykx?) and Josh had success with it. This thread has some info http://www.striped-bass.com/Stripert...aight-eel.html. Can't say I caught much with mine, but the Habs version looks worth a try.
