The Alou Eel was one of the first worm/jig/tin squid style lure that was used more in fishing currents and around bridges and structure than actual surf fishing. Truth be known, they weren't anywhere as well built as todays versions of those lures. The Boone Needle although well liked by many started peeling paint as it was removed from the package, the hook hangers could be pulled out by a sunny.

 

Nice to look back but vast improvements have been made since Al Reinfelder and Lou Palma revealed their arsenal. If you want to fish for nostalgic reasons you can still find them around but if your trophy hunting there are better choices.

Ive heard about the hanger problem. Fished them lots when I 

was younger and didn't personally ever have it happen. Lot of

large blues also. I agree that thick paint would come off in large

chips before long. I also agree, there r better options on the market

these days. The SS stuff is nearly bullet proof. Happy NY.
