Fish Skull Sand Eels
Our friend Theo Bakelaar, also know as Mr. Gold Bead, and now also as Mr. Eel Skin, has been at it again. These beauties are his latest sand eels tied with fish skulls. I can just see the stripers and blues zeroing in on these delectable looking, and highly-active-when-wet, tough-as-nails imitations. Can’t wait to see them up close and personal.
The tails are fresh water eel skin. Once wet it is highly fluid in its movements and it’s as tough as nails.
The Fish Skulls give the imitations a very “finished” and realistic look, as well as adding the needed weight to get the eels deep when the blues and stripers are busting bait balls near the bottom.
