Illex Dexter Eel 280

Illex Dexter Eel 280 - Tight Rolling Soft Eel

The Illex Dexter Eel 280 is a large eel-shaped softbait developed for targeting specimen pike, catfish and other big predators in both freshwater and saltwater. Its long, natural eel profile gives predators an alternative target to traditional large shads, while the tight rolling action and curled tail create low-frequency waves that can be detected from distance without looking unnatural.

Like the smaller Dexter Eel models, the Dexter Eel 280 is infused at the core with Nitro Booster shellfish attractant and can be rigged in multiple ways. For example with a BKK Chain-21 rig in size 3/0. It is particularly effective for cranking, working around vegetation, fishing over weed beds or letting it sink naturally along drop-offs where bigger predators are holding.
