It’s good to know folks smarter then you are, I’m again a beneficiary. In the case of these lures, they were introduced to me, and I didn’t fine ’em, but I did track ’em down. We have long had a very good swordfishery here in SoCal, large fish. It’s been targeted by very few sport anglers, really was more of a commercial enterprise. Increasingly local anglers are discovering that these hard pullers can be targeted very successfully.


The material used for the big eel is durable, with a skinny tail which undulates in the water. These are UV enhanced lures, designed to be fished on and near the bottom, and noticed by big eyed swordies. They are rigged on two heavy duty Mustads. The manufacturer has produced several videos, I’ll encourage folks to watch. Very interesting lures, well worth spending some time on a deep drop and slow presentation, dragged at 2-3 knots max. The lures come in a very nice storage bag.
