These eels are a full 14.5 inches long and have a solid creation with (NO) slit to ensure you get the most out of these baits. We recommend our SPJ jigs for these baits as they are a perfect fit and specifically designed for big bait applications. Best SPJ jig options for fishing block Island are 1-1.5-2 oz. If fishing a moon tide you’ll be 2, 2.5, and 3 oz. If you want to rig them weightless we also recommend the BKK Titan Rider hooks in the 8/0 or 10/0 or 12/0 size.
