Protail Swim Eel 8" (4pack)

Protail Swim Eel:

The secret weapon of Hogy Ambassador Eric "Slappy" Harrison. The 8-inch Slappy Eel has accounted for countless cow stripers over the years. A true trophy hunter's soft bait. Designed to be paired with the 10/0 Ultra Barbarian Jig Heads. Eel tail softbaits are versatile and highly effective lures that can outperform other types, such as paddle tails, in specific fishing scenarios. Their lifelike, sinuous action and durability make them ideal for various environments and target species.

Material Quality:

Protail Plastic: Made in Germany with virgin plastic, providing unmatched strength without compromising softness and action in the water.

Design and Action:

Elongated Tapers: Both sizes feature a taper that must be seen in the water to be fully appreciated, offering lifelike motion.

Rigging Compatibility:

Inshore Fishing: Designed to work seamlessly with Hogy "Classic" Barbarian jigs, which are available in weights typical for inshore fishing.

Offshore Fishing: Compatible with Hogy HD Barbarian jigs, suited for the heavier weights typical in offshore fishing.

Rigging Features:

Hook Entry and Exit: Both baits have the same hook entry marker and a forgiving hook exit zone within the battle pocket, ensuring ease of rigging.

Battle Pocket:

Enhanced Durability: This highly regarded feature allows the bait to flex while inside the mouth of a hooked fish during battle, significantly increasing the lifespan of the softbait by reducing damage during fights.
