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.
