I owe you Bill
Thank you very much Bill 
When should I expect the book coauthored by you and Steve?
You could do a simple construction booklet and I bet it would sell.

FYI;
If your not crazy about the long point on the Siwash, the 8/0 or 9/0 tinned version of the Bronze 94150 that Bill uses for eels can be used for Rigged eels too... picked up that tip from a long Island transplant that DZ often refers to as 'Darter Al' although Dr. "Darter Al" might be more appropriate....

What surf and bottom structure conditions do you use for the eels with two 1/2 sinkers in the eel's mouth ?
Also, do you use the same technigue as the rigged eel when you retrieve ? |

yikes..I am giving away my store!!  (just kiddin)
If I am fishing in water over 10 feet I may use a half ounce.( I tend to use weight more in rough water or in a current) Remember eels do sink so in water up to that height you really dont need it, I am looking to get my eels down faster in higher depths so I will use the weight to speed up the process.
As for the difference in rigged and live , its completley different, I just reel in the live one slow and let the eel do the work, every now and then a speed cahnge can produce a strike , especially when your close to the shore sometimes I will speed it up and that can trigger vicious hits right at your feet. The bass may be following that thing from the start and as soon as the fish sees the change bang! You just kind of have to feel all these things out with time and practice.
Most people make the mistake of thinking about the second cast before they finish the first! Big mistake, reel all the way to your feet, you will be amazed at the fish that will hit right in the wash........... |

Why are the gami octopus hooks crap? Here is a pic of one of McKenna's slug-gos from last fall when we were out on Cutty. These were 7/0 or 8/0 hooks and he was using mono...

Tlap: It's not that Gamis are "crap" in general-- they're not! But a different hook for every different purpose/ application!
When I used Gami Octopus' w/ Live Eels, way too many flew off the hook. As #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& says they're thin- wire hooks-- not good for live Eel hook retention. Barb is quite small too. And... my PB 41 lber., partially opened my 5/0 Octopus, although I still managed to land (& release) the fish. Finally, yes, rust- out is very important for live Eeling, but less so for riggies or lures like Sluggos that don't often get swallowed like the live do. Been using Owners in recent years... but will give #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&s' Mustad pattern a try! I will crush down by 50%that huge barb though, as I'm strictly a C & R guy!  |
