Killer eel

[Riverfishin]

Has anyone seen these lures before. I just saw them at gander mt and they looked kind of good. I was just wondering if anyone has tryed one.

I saw them at the MN Muskie Expo and they looked outstanding in the water! DeLong Lures make a 8" & 13" Kilr Eel and a mammoth 16" Giant Witch.
I didn't pick one up but I do plan to for next year.
Another tool for the Tackle Box....

Like throwing a twig out and retrieving it. They flip upside down when you twitch them and have zero action. (especially the eel) A friend of mine owns a lodge in Canada and guides all summer. He received a promo box of the baits from a show. He gave me an eel and a witch when I was there to visit in July two years ago. All I can say is that I am glad I did not pay for them. When I left camp, I threw them back in his boat because I did not want to lug them back to MN. For the money, there are way better plastics out there.

I'm looking at a Musky Catalog right now and can see that the Eel may not the action I want. The Giant Witch looks like it has good up/down action and not left right. I do remember seeing the Giant in the water at the Musky Expo ant thought it looked good but I think I'll look at them closely again at the next Expo.

Thanks for sharing your experience paperlipz! It's always nice to hear about baits before you buy them.

I'd like to hear some more opinions on the lure. I was talking to a guy from the dnr that said he caught a few muskies on tonka with them. He also said that he had to give the bait action by moving his pole side to side. More opinions would be great.
