Fellow sent me a couple, for some dead frozen eels, which I guess was one of the ingredients....it was a copy of a copy of a copy that was hand written, lol.. Couldn't read it, well parts of it. I may have them somewhere, but probably tossed them...seemed like a lot of trouble when I can order some of Paul's or Bob's magic elixers. Always wondered what those eels were like when they got to him!, lol

Seal oil is a very common ingredient amongst the old lure makers. Right up there with fish oil, "fish juice", and castor.

I always wondered how many were, and how many just claimed to be because the maker got the idea for the bait/lure from something mentioned around a campfire in the same conversation Nelson was mentioned in.
