sand eel

"Easy fishing," said I, with a certain pity for the sand-eel.

The lead weight, about a yard from the sand-eel, should not be a heavy one.

Occasionally the sand-eel answers better with the bright metal spinner at the head.

As a rule the smaller sized sand-eel is the most killing, and the pattern coloured red often beats the white.

There is a nearly black form of the artificial sand-eel which is sometimes very attractive.
