Would this work?
What about putting an eel skin over a sluggo or a reel-eel or surf hog, etc...??
would it make a difference?

Are you going to use a rigged/weighted one or something on a jighead?

not sure what it takes to skin an eel, but since rigging a sluggo is similar to rigging an eel, why wouldnt you just rig the eel and not bother to skin it ?
Saves you the step of putting the skin onto the sluggo and you have the added benefit of eel stink. Im just not sure what that gets you over a plain rigged eel?

I think you would get a little more bouyancy out of the rubber and maybe a little steadier movement.  |

I was thinking he was looking for that incredible twitchy darty action that only soft plastic can deliver, with the added bonus of a taste of the real deal.  |

I don't know... that is kind of why I posted it. You make a good point there Jimmy, but I am under the impression that rigging an eel is a little more invovled that rigging a sluggo? I have never skinned a eel, I am going to try it for the first time... but it doesn't sound too complicated.....what do you guys think?
and I was also thinking that the action of rubber with an eel skin on it would be realistic??

it is a little more gross, but no more so I would guess than skinning? Its worth a shot. I also think a rigged eel has an action that sluggos dont, that slitthery motion.

Surf Hogs work so well the way they are...why mess up a good thing. I guess you could do it but there really is no need, by far the best new product ive used in a LOOOOONG time.

You'll more than likely, rip the rubber when you cinch down the skin to fasten it on there.

To skin the eel, first pick a tree out back, close to your least favorite neighbor. Drive nail through eel's head into tree. Use exacto knife to slit around the eel behind the head and then lengthwise down the belly. Grab the skin where sliced behind the head and pull down.... Results will vary, depending on the condition of your dead eel. My first attempts were less than spectacular and left a pretty gruesome scene on the tree.....Have fun!

Exactly the problem I foresee, too. You have to get the head of the skin fairly tight for it to stay there. |
