Yessir. I think they are around 8$ at Haddrells. In my experience, the black coated ones work just as good as the galvanized ones. I usually end up with more eels in the black ones too.

MattR, the black ones are working for you, I have never had that much luck with them …

Bragging may not bring happiness,
but no man having caught a large fish,
goes home through the alley.

Never get any eels. Any size to them?

Can be pretty good bait!

Thanks, Captain Ross

You have to be nice to your minnows. I feed them stale bread and old dog food to keep them happy.

I will keep you in mind. My boss gave me his stingray tickets and I have never been to a hockey game. I think it’s going to be pretty windy and its hard to see.
