I have few videos that I did over the years that I haven’t showed you. Why? Mostly out of fear of embarrassment…because they suck. But then today I was looking over the video about how I make the head for a rigged eel hook and I realized that….the video still sucks. I talk a mile a minute…however I also realized some of you might find this information useful. And if I can help even one guy, then my job is done.
Note a short sleeve polo shirt (Thanks Harv) and date it was uploaded YouTube, September 6th of last year. But it’s been locked up for for 6 months for before mentioned reasons. Progression of a video googan
Also a note with this video. If it sounds like I came up with this concept, I did not. Our Editor Roger Martin clued me into this. I just use different epoxy but he gets the props from me for the idea. Where did he get an idea, you will have to ask him. Maybe one day he will write a blog post of a article in SJ on all the things him and Al Bentsen screwed around ,trying to make it better over the years.

Fellows , will we see your new t- shirt available online ? 2x works for me.
↓Can anyone out there tell me if it is possible to download SJ to a laptop. I work at sea…no internet.
Thks
↓Z great tip. you can see your editing improvement, but over all a good video with good info’. But I gotta ask…. Zip ties? Didn’t you do a video against them? or am I thinking about someone else?
↓either way this is still a good how to vid’.
2x for me too !
↓No.,I use zip ties on everything other then securing the nose of the eel to the hook
↓Zeno,
↓I’m about 3500 miles west of you…
Let me know if you ever decide to make some more of those shirts.
I would take two in size large.
Only a dozen!! I hope I get in there time to get one.
↓you guys are funny..by now you guys should know that we do everything on shoestring ,,,,lmao
↓Iverfish..whatever is left will go in online store on monday..if they sell out we might consider doing another run and stock the store..its hard to manage all of this while we are working on the new issue
↓Was that a conga eel ?
↓i will be sure to try that style rigging. ive been looking for a new way other than a knot ball…thanks z
↓Awesome video, I may be the “one guy” you aimed to help, but guarantee others found this useful. You’re destined for sainthood in the big suds box in the sky. Thanks for all that you and your team do…
↓All right that sounds a little too depressing, you know what I meant though, sorry…
↓2x on the shirt.. Hope you bring some caps as well sunday!
↓Zeno these shirts are great! Sell more online please.
↓2x here! this is getting as bad as my plug habbit!! now I want a hoody with that on the back, like the front. was gonna suggest that to you last week. great job as always Z and tommy.
↓short sleve polo ? was dat my idea? the black t shirt is awesome! i didnt realize the eyes were fish hooks untill i uploaded photo of shirt to face book & got 20 likes in 3 minutes. the heather gray t shirts made for asbury also look great. good work kahuna
↓Great video Z! That’s a great tip. It’s easier than soldering some copper wire to the hook. Thanks for sharing.
↓Z, there is no bad videos when there is good tips shared like that.
↓Hope to make the show in Asbury and get in on the shirts.
