Gapen Sand eel?
Has anyone seen these in person? I came across this on eBay today. They are 9" long, and weigh 2.5 ounces. It's not listed on the Gapen site from what I could find.

Several shops on the Cape have them. Two sizes I have seen blue back and chartreuse back. The plastic box has a sticker that says "Polish Sandeel". T like you I am 1/2 Polska. These may work for us at least they would make an interestin conversation piece in the collection.

Why even try.........

I like the Polish lures in general but many places have them jacked up $ and they are expensive to begin with. I took one of these sandeels out of its box....pretty but I can think of other less costly baits that would do just as well.

I have two of these (I think they are called "Polish Sand eels") I don't like the action on the larger one of 2.5 oz. I do like the smaller 1.5 oz version. I had the larger tied on, and my friend had a sluggo, we ran into a huge school of bass and he outfished me 4 to 0!
So..I'm not sold.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
