    Is that gonna be long enough or should i make two sections ?
    Its 900,time i put a cone in it effective length will be more like 700.
    I know eels swim backward into holes so if one say a meter long swims in its tail could be still in the entry and back out, or will it just get right in there regardless?

    Should be good. My one was about 3/4 that. For the door I cut a circle out and wrap the end in a garden hose by slicing the pipe. Stops it hooking on shit

    DO NOT use vegemite.
    That has got to be the best use I have ever heard of for Marmite.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Brings back some great memories of being a young we lad this thread. We used to do the same but used a whole chicken from the local farm... dip it in meths and burn most of the feathers off it, and in it went, our biggest ell was over 2m long and about 80mm diameter... completely destroyed out trap .

    A good mate of mine is a commercial eel fisherman. He always offers my son a net or 2 he doesn't use anymore. I will see if he will part with one.

    It'l work but if left long enough they may get out.
    Best bait for eels in my experience is well ripened beef liver
    Good luck, your kids will be hooked, or should i say hinaki'd
