Location: Germany | Hello,
i had an idea for some eels and so I begann to work. They are about 12 1/2 inch long and weight 3 1/3 oz. The chain has a rating of over 250 lbs. This is the result.

Location: Germany | Hi,
here is the straight Version. In my opinion the eels from De Long are to stiff. The stainless chain is strong and adds some weight to the soft bait. It is easy to connect some split rings to the chain.

Location: Germany | Here is a longer video. I filmed it in a harbour where my stand is about over two meters over the water. If the rod tip near the water surface it will be swim a bit better.

The straight version of the eel works good in shallow and deeper water. The S-form works better for shallow water, I think.
