Note: Tied to imitate small American eels that swim up the Delaware River during the spring. There about 3-4 inches long. Just about any gamefish in the river will eat these eels. For salt water this makes a passable Sand eel(which is a fish not an eel). Tied using longer materials to about 8-12 inches long with a little more bulk. It can be used to imitate the eels used by those livelining for stripers in the fall. Although I used black thread in this pattern. Clear mono would be a better choice. |
