Slappy13inch Jigging Eel: The secret weapon of Hogy Ambassador Eric "Slappy" Harrison, the 13inch Slappy Eel has accounted for countless cow stripers over the years. A true trophy hunter's soft bait. Designed to be paired with the 10/0 Classic Barbarian Jig Head.
In this video we join Capt. Ray Jarvis of Salt of the Earth Sportfishing as we steam south towards Block Island in pursuit of large Striped Bass. A mix of throwing large topwater plugs and jigging large plastics resulted in a stellar trip filled with screaming drags, sore arms, and giant Striped Bass! Follow along to get a taste of what Block Island has to offer!
Capt. Jamie Simmons of Buzzard's Bay Outfitters and Capt. Jimmy Pragana of Epic Offshore head out with the Salty Cape Crew to target monster mid-August nighttime stripers with the "slappy technique," which is a slow, vertical jig along the bottom of the water column where these 35lb.+ class fish can often be found.
Material Quality: Protail Plastic: Made in Germany with virgin plastic, providing unmatched strength without compromising softness and action in the water. Design and Action: Elongated Tapers: Both sizes feature a taper that must be seen in the water to be fully appreciated, offering lifelike motion.
Softbait Toughness Material: A high-quality, durable soft plastic that can withstand repeated strikes and abrasive environments while providing effortless serpentine action. Resilience: Able to endure bites from aggressive fish without tearing easily, extending the bait's lifespan.
When a lot of us got into skateboarding, we were drawn in by the spectacle. If you are of a certain generation, it was probably the X Games that did it for you. To this day, the most-famous moment in skateboarding is when Tony Hawk landed a 900. Maybe what got you on a board was playing skateboarding video games, which also prize elaborate tricks, and trick combos, that in real life are effectively impossible to pull off.
I am not here to pay homage to doing a bunch of a spins on a vert or, in fact, anything that involves getting air. This is not about the spectacle. It is about perhaps the most egalitarian thing one can do on a skateboard. It is about the slappy grind, the style of skate trick that dares to defy the defying of gravity that Hawk and so many others have done.
Now, slappies can be quite impressive and show off a lot of skill. They still require balance and acumen on your board. Going a great distance on a slappy is impressive, especially when you think about the speed one has to build up to really get a grind going on a curb. Gravity is not your friend in such a scenario. There are also skate videos out there dedicated to slappies, and some skaters have attached their name to the slappy. They consider it an important arrow in their quiver. However, these skaters, and videos, are claiming the slappy explicitly because it is so anathema to the showier aspects of skateboarding.
