The Storm Jig’n eel is a favorite choice for stripers, bluefish, cobia and weakfish. This artificial bait works great for surf fishing at night. From a safe position on the beach, cast along accessible shoreline features, work the jig’n eel slowly along the shoreline or sand bar.

Many predator fish in the surf have nocturnal feeding habits especially under a full moon. They come in closer to the shoreline to feed at night. The bigger fish will be well within within casting distance during this time. Use local reports and observed conditions rather than treating high tide as a guarantee.

If you like to have the beach all to yourself for some killer action, night time fishing is the way to go. The Storm Jig’n eel has such a life like presentation it will get a lot of attention.

Choosing a current option

The old link led to a Storm Swim’N Eel, a different product from the Jig’n Eel discussed here, and that listing is unavailable. The link below shows current eel-style options; it is a comparison page, not an endorsement of every result. Check lure weight against your rod’s total casting rating.
