have any of you guys heard of this bait? im pretty sure its a hand-made wooden plug. ive heard a little about them but cant find out where to find them. any info would be great.

it is a rubber bait kinda of like a osprey but harder and heavier. i bought one and took it back the day after i tried it. the tail is very stiff. you can get them a anglers marine in anaheim. in my opinion save you money and get a osprey or sidewinder.

really? someone told me it floated and it was really good. it sounds like a disaster though. thanks for the opinion.

I wouldn't count the eagle out completely. It definitely has it's place. Although similar to the osprey it can be fished a lot faster on the surface. I would definitely still keep one around, it's got it's place.

If you think the tail is too stiff you can soften the bait by putting it in boilling water for a couple of minutes the night before you go fishing.

thats true you can boil the tail. i just didnt like it. but thats just my opinion.

2 more questions. is it light enough to be fished on top fairly slow? and where might i find one in the san diego area? or at least look at one. thanks guys

Yeah, I think I've only caught one or two fish on them ;)

hee hee- yeah Cam, but they were all dinks!! Especially that one that crashed on it in the waning hour of light at San V, couldn't have been more then 10 inches long? Or wide???

If the Fred Hall show makes it's way towards SD there will be a booth selling them.They really seem like good baits,broke mine off at perris on the first few casts and never really got a chance to fish'em hard.They did away with the two hook rig they originaly came with because of tail hooking problems while casting.They look just as good if not better than an osprey,could'nt hurt to have one..or two.

Serious!

Don't buy any Eagles....they suck! :)
