Description

This guy catches them all! Works great for largemouth and smallmouth bass, but the Striper will go nuts for this guy! This is the 9 inch version I also have an 8" eel on this site you just have to look for it. Both eels have incredibly realistic swimming action. With hooks and hardware this lure is 1.4 ounces so you can get by with a medium action rod (with some backbone) but I throw it on a medium heavy. The 8 inch version works very well with a medium action rod. ***Currently out of stock. I am trying to find a new supplier since my original supplier is going out of business due to tariff and De Minimis BS! I cannot take orders for them at this time so tis page will not accept any orders. As soon as I can get more in the page will start accepting orders. I will post to my Instagram (@sammysbaits) and Facebook (Sammys Bait Shop) pages as soon as I know something. I just wanted to take a second to explain the price increase of the 9" eel. Do to the suspension of the De Minimis rule and the various tariffs that may or may not exist at any given time my price for this particular blank as well as just a few others have gone up to the point that I needed to raise the price. Where possible i have absorbed the price increase but with this lure it was just too much. I considered just not carrying this lure any longer but the lure is effective and very popular. Having said that I have about 20 left and I am not sure I will even be able to get any more. NOTE: Each bait is hand painted in the order they are received. I make every effort to ship the baits within 3 days of receiving the order, however during the busy season it can take up to 5 to 8 business days to ship the baits. In most cases they do ship within 3 days, I never want to make anyone wait but I do need to maintain quality so it can take time sometimes. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or need something in a hurry.

Field Notes

Use this as a big-profile swimbait for largemouth, smallmouth, and striped bass. The realistic swimming action makes it a good choice for casting around open water or over structure when you want to imitate a larger baitfish. It is best fished on a medium-heavy rod with steady retrieves and occasional pauses to let the segmented body work.
