Nice video and welcome to the forums!

 

I know you mention being from NJ but don't be scared of the 9" and bigger Slammers. If you look around the forums you will see a lot of East Coast guys doing well with the bigger ones. I've caught 1# fish on the 9" slammer. Also, consider switching out the hooks to Owner St41s or 46s as you'll definitely improve your hookup ratio. I use size 1 on the 7"

 

Oh, and the bait you call the "Eel" is actually the now discontinued "Snake." The eel is similar but has a rubber worm tail instead of the thick segmented tail

Once you throw the 9" you will wonder why you ever got the 7". At least I did. In my opinion it still catches the same fish but allows for a bigger bite at the same time. I've caught fish that weren't even keepers to fish most 8 pounds

I've "discovered" a new use for the 7" Slammer - big walleyes at night!  I don't think they'll work all the time, but under certain conditions  when the big toothy critters are hunting along hard edges at night, they seem to be the ticket.
