S3 E11 /// Secrets of the Eel Bob with Steve McKenna

On this special bonus episode of The Surfcast Podcast, the guys sit down with returning guest Steve McKenna to talk about the lost art of fishing the eel bob. Steve recently penned a how-to article on building an eel bob for The Surfcaster’s Journal, and it quickly became one of the magazine’s most popular pieces in quite some time. In this conversation, Steve breaks down how he got started, how to fish it properly, and the situations where the eel bob excels and can even outproduce modern offerings. For surfcasters interested in classic tactics, big striped bass, and reviving a technique that still has plenty of fish-catching power, this episode is packed with insight.
