sandeels

[scottw]

I haven't wired them yet but tried to do some small sandeels to throw at schoolies, I think a single hook in back dressed in yellow or white will look good and give it a nice wiggle, I tried the blue sheetrock tape that is stretchy and tacky and was able to manipulate it for long, thin, faint scale patterns on the belly, it worked very well, Scott

great realistic match

If I was a schoolie I'd be all over that!

You doing 2 or 3 trebles?-single off the back?

Peace-Andy

I think single w/no barb for the purpose intended and some dressing....so much to learn....getting me through the winter though

scottw,(food for thought) 1. run a single off the back, OR 2.just cut the hook section off an just a treble mid body, when a blue fish hits it will be TAIL section, if a BIG striper eats it , will be head,mid section. one big bite. buy the way NICE REPLICATION, Ill take a doz
GOOD LUCK GOOD PLUGGIN

thanks a bunch Salty, I went single on these and have started some more that I'll go with trebles on if I find I'm missing fish I can swap, they're fairly small, not much longer than some tins that I have and they'll be fished relatively slow, I used the Envirotex(thanks Baystalker) and really like it, I'm not a creative as some of guys that come up with great designs on their plugs but I can copy almost anything from a pic, I'd love to have actual specimens mounted in some sort of plastic to use for models...
