HTO Eels 11cm | 20g Head: The Versatile Coastline Hunter
The HTO Eels in the 11cm body paired with a 20g jig head represent the workhorse configuration of this incredibly successful lure range. At Gerrys Fishing, we find this specific combination to be the premier choice for shore-based anglers who need to balance casting distance with a substantial profile. The 11cm (110mm) body perfectly mimics a mid-sized sandeel or sprat, making it a primary target for the biggest bass and pollack patrolling our coastlines.
While the 8cm version is great for finesse, the 11cm/20g combo is designed for searching open water. The 20g head provides the aerodynamic punch needed to cut through coastal winds, while the longer body offers a larger visual silhouette and a more pronounced swimming vibration.
Realistic Design & Coastal Durability
-
Dynamic Eel Profile: The slender, eel-shaped design allows the lure to cut through the water column with ease. This streamlined shape is not only realistic but also reduces drag, resulting in a more fluid and natural swimming action.
-
Integrated 20g Ballast: The 20g jig head is expertly matched to the 11cm body. This weighting ensures the lure reaches the bottom quickly in deeper gullies and maintains a stable, enticing nose-down posture during the retrieve.
-
Resilient Soft Plastic: HTO uses a high-grade, durable material that can withstand the wear and tear of multiple strikes from toothy predators. Despite its toughness, the plastic remains supple enough to allow for a high-frequency tail kick.
-
Transport & Storage: The compact nature of these lures makes them incredibly easy to store in a small lure box or waist bag, allowing you to carry a variety of colors to match the light and water conditions of the day.

Tactical Applications
The 20g HTO Eel is a highly effective tool for a wide range of conditions. The Gerrys team suggests:
-
Open Coastline Searching: Use the 20g weight to cast beyond the first line of breakers on surf beaches. A steady, mid-water retrieve is often all that is needed to trigger a strike from a patrolling bass.
-
Deep Gully Prospecting: In rocky areas, let the 20g head take the lure right to the bottom of deep gullies. Use a sink and draw methodlifting the rod tip and then letting the lure flutter back downto mimic a wounded sandeel.
-
Pier and Breakwater Fishing: The 11cm profile is ideal for fishing from high structures. The weight allows you to maintain control of the lure even when fishing several meters above the water surface.
-
Fast Water Stability: In tidal races or river mouths, the 20g head provides the stability needed to prevent the lure from being washed out, keeping it in the strike zone where predators lie in ambush.
Gerrys Verdict:
The HTO Eels 11cm/20g are a must-have for any serious lure angler. Their realistic design and durable construction make them a reliable choice for catching a wide range of species in various water conditions. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned pro, this lure is a high-value investment that will consistently help you take your game to the next level
