🦈 LARGE FROZEN EELS AVAILABLE — BULK BUYERS WELCOME 🎣

Unfortunately, a pump malfunction caused me to lose a large batch of oversized live eels. Rather than let them go to waste, they were promptly vacuum sealed and frozen for bait.

These larger eels could be a great option for:

• Swordfishing
• Tuna fishing
• Catfish bait
• Other offshore and big-game applications

I’m looking to move them, so I’m willing to make a good deal—especially on larger quantities. Available while supplies last.

📍 Steve’s Rope Splicing — Gloucester, MA
📩 Message me for sizes, quantities, and pricing.

Sold as bait only—not for human consumption.
