no, I tested them with everything but the squid. we dont use squids much up here in RI for some reason. I would imagine they would be great rigged up on one, as the neck of my eel is narrower than the rest of the body, thus making a hinge. the eel wiggles from the head down because of it.

Those eelios look good Nebe

you got any mega eelios ? maybe longer and more slender.
I got a couple of rubbah's from canalman and it looks like you 2 guys are looking forward. I still like wood though

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

come on canalman, post your eel

Slip, my goal was to perfect this eel and i have. This is the size i think is the most deadly- the length to weight ratio seems just right for someone using a 10 foot surfrod. From here, i want to do a smaller 'elver' and then a larger 'Conger', so yeah, thats where i am headed.

all will have the same features as the 8.5 ones... i will be able to cast them with 2 rigged hooks right in them and will also make them without hooks.

Thumbs up 15" and 10 1/2" Ultimus



From shore the 15" could prove difficult to work but i`m expecting big things at the right places at the right times

Good health and family

Guys, i apreciate the requests for these, but my intentions of showing these eels off was simply to show them off and get some feedback. I am tickled that there is a demand for them, and hope to be able to make them available to the public, but for now, i dont feel comfortable soliciting orders for them until i can at least talk to johnR about sponsorship. My goal in developing these was to make a killer looking rubber eel to compete with the 9" Sluggo for my own use, but If there is a demand for them, i am happy to make for for those who want to use them. So for now, please keep the compliments coming, but keep in mind i wont be selling any here unless I talk to JohnR about sponsorship..

Im making these in black, smoked eel ( light smoke with glitter inside) electric eel (flourescent yellow with glitter) deadly nightshade (pearlescent black- the color spence calls metro ) ivory, and pearl white to start... might do some more fun colors later on, but for now just these colors to start.

agian, i am tickled at the responses here about these eels. I had no idea they would be so well recieved.

Thumbs up While sipping a glass of very good merlot

Spence, BI Jeff, and I were discussing the high desirability of your new exotic customs and wondering when our case of Black would be ready?
From there we switched to a scrumtious chardonnay and tossed around our anticipation for the 10" version of your Horton Eels.

What say thee Nebe?

Good health and family

Eben - could you cast them with a 4 or 5 ounce head followed by the rubber and have the hooks imbeded? That would surely take the place of eel skin rigs nicely. They look awsome..
