12 x Eddystone Eel 115mm Sea Fishing Lures

Product Information

To the short arm on the metal boom, tie on a weak link of mono between 12 and 15lbs and then your chosen weight. Using a flowing trace such as the flying collar rig, trace lengths can be anything from 3ft to 15ft, depending on tide run and the drift. Fishing a hook size 2/0 – 4/0. Many anglers also prefer to fish a paternoster rig, 2 hooks fished similar to the east coast killer rigs.

The image above is a representation of the rig, in a real-world scenario the hook length should be 7ft+. The short hook length here is just to show you have the rig is made.

If it's any help, I've had good results with Eddystones with my barrel lead only 2 inches ahead of the eel and with an eye painted on either side of the lead, near its front end! It was just a personal experiment but it seems to work as a "teaser" and it also makes tangle-free casting much easier. Attach a small swivel to either end of the trace and then attach these swivels, one to the hook in the eel with a separate short length of line and the other direct to your main line; The Eddystones are available in a wide variety of colours including those which will suit the bass anglers. To the lower eye of the swivel, tie on 36-inches of 20lb Fluorocarbon and then the lure of your choice.

Obviously, sea conditions dictate whether we can even get out on the day, but even in the depths discussed, the weather has an effect. Fishing from man-made structures is best when there is a moving sea. Some swell and some surface ripple is ideal, especially on days when there is good cloud cover. In this shallower water a heavy sea will push the fish out, especially during the bigger spring tides. To the other eye of the rolling swivel, tie on a further 5 or so feet of 15 to 20lb fluorocarbon line. While the Eddystone Eel 2013 is a bit more expensive to buy than other soft plastic lures they are much more robust than most and will outlast the majority of the others ten times over, subject to avoiding snags, and present great value for money.

News & Updates

Often you can see major seabed structure show on the seas surface as turbulent swirling water or areas of flat water in a rougher sea. Remember though, that these structures will be uptide of the actual surface showing, but it gives you an indication of where to look then you can take a drift over it to see. The muppets can be fished singly or with small fish fillets added. Alternatively, change the muppets for artificial sandeels or fish imitators such as rubber shads or soft plastic worms.
