Thought so. I haven't seen any of those in years!

They've always looked like they'd be good fish catchers, but I've never owned one.

Post by: Zreptileguy on November 09, 2015, 12:26:15 PM: They work excellent. They swim like a real tadpole.

Eels get #2 treble, baby eel get #4 treble, and tads get a #4 frog hook. These are larger than the hooks that normally come with them but hookup ratio is better.
