The 8″ DeLong KILR EEL is the most popular and versatile eel in the lineup. It keeps the same proven glide-and-pause action as the larger eel, but in a size that’s easier to fish and more effective across multiple species.
Hand poured in America and anise scented, this bait has earned its reputation among anglers who know how to fish jerk, pause, and fall presentations.
This bait shines when worked with control:
Snap the rod tip to initiate movement
Pause and allow the eel to glide and fall
Watch closely — most strikes happen on the pause
It’s not a reaction bait. It’s a trigger bait for fish that are following but refusing to bite.
The 8″ KILR EEL is especially popular as a river lure for pike. Its profile and glide action work extremely well in current seams, deeper runs, and open water.
Many of these baits make annual trips to Canada, where pike anglers rely on them when standard baits stop producing.
For musky anglers, this bait rewards confidence and patience. Worked hard and fast, it excels when muskies are near the surface but won’t commit to traditional lures.
Guides familiar with the DeLong Eel consistently credit it for putting fish in the boat on tough days. Notably, Gregg Thomas used the DeLong KILR EEL to win the PMTT World Championship, cementing its place as a serious musky bait.
With the trend toward bigger baits for bass, the 8″ KILR EEL has become a sleeper option in the spring. Fished more slowly, it resembles a large, easy meal — perfect for post-spawn bass looking to regain weight.
The unique profile and scent also make this bait effective for cobia, especially because these fish rarely see anything like it. When they commit, they commit hard.
Every 8″ KILR EEL is made using the same proven process DeLong Lures has used for generations:
Hand-poured soft plastic
Hand-tied internal rig
One 8/0 hook and one 5/0 hook
Anise scent mixed directly into the plastic
Designed to last far longer than standard soft plastics
This is a bait built for anglers who value effectiveness over trends.
