I tried catching an eel with the Inspiral Glove

Profile: TY

An employee of AEON Sports Co., Ltd.
Responsible for running the online store.

Why "Inspiral Glove x Eel Catching"?

"No slipping even on rainy days"
"The more you sweat, the stronger you become."

Inspiral Globe is known for such copies.
This is a glove that our company is proud of, a trusted and proven product, with a total of over 1.66 million units sold in the series.

While chatting among staff members about how to communicate this performance in an even easier-to-understand way, an idea popped up.

"If you could catch an eel... that would be convincing, right?"

Thus began the current "Catching Eels with the Inspiral Glove" project.

Now, let's head to Lake Hamana, the holy land of eels.

This is the Inspiral Glove, which carries the "legend of non-slip."
What will the results be?

Everything is ready! Venue, equipment, and mindset

The setting is Lake Hamana's experience facility , Kaikokan Kirakuichi Shokudo .
Here you can make reservations for the "Eel Catching & Grilling Experience" and the "Fish Catching Experience."
There was a private time available on the day, and the venue was bustling with people.

Next time I want to participate normally

Speaking of which...

What happens if you don't get it...
Put the blame on the developers.
Yeah, good. I'm looking forward to the unadon.

Well, this is what my equipment list looks like:

NIKKE AXIO Wool Long T-Shirt (Merino Wool is the Best)
Nano Hybrid Sports Socks, Short Five-Toe Socks (Non-Slip Socks)
Pocketable mesh laundry pouch (perfect for changing clothes and putting them straight into the washing machine)
And our "Inspiral Globe" (thanks to you, over 1.66 million copies sold)
* We have received permission to wear the costume and take photos in advance.
* Please read the instructions carefully and use correctly.
* Inspiral Gloves are golf gloves.
These are not eel-catching gloves.

Thank you to the generous Kaikokan Kirakuichi Shokudo !

After checking in, the tension was already at its peak as we stood before the sight of the "Eel Catching Pond."

Let's get started! Find the eel

A lively eel appears.

In the pond!

The moment I put my hand in the water...

Fast! And slippery!

The feeling of the eel hits my bare hands.

A silver fugitive, Unagi, appears there.

"Slim!" "Quick!"

He is at the mercy of the ``elusive eel'' and its agility, which is greater than he could have imagined.

As expected, catching an eel with bare hands was extremely difficult...

Now the real star appears.
The ace of the "non-slip golf glove world."
* My own research: Our Inspiral Globe!

Let's end the game.

Will I really be able to grab it? I'm nervous... Let's go!!

The silver fugitive took another leap - and the next moment, his thumb, index finger, and middle finger locked together.

The ball is "received" with the surface of the glove and "stopped" with the edge of the fingertip.

--I've got you. I won't let you go.

Hold with your thumb, index finger, and middle finger.
A form that works well with the friction of the gloves.

--What will the result be?

The power and legend of the Inspiral Glove...

Verification results for "eel grabbing"

It's much easier to hold than with bare hands! Great grip!

There is less "initial slippage" than with bare hands, and recovery by changing grip is effective.
Even when the eel makes a sudden turn, the palm side of the hand "follows" it, and the fingers "hold" it in place.
Dries quickly
The gloves smell a little

Once it bites, it won't let go.
The characteristic that "the wetter it gets, the better the grip" was reproduced in actual underwater combat.

This is "Control the rain, turn sweat into strength."

However, eel's slime is very strong.
The result was that it was "hard to slip" against eels.

"Control the rain, turn sweat into strength, and even slime into strength ."

Or rather...

Glad I caught it...

How the caught eel becomes "unadon"

Now that I've finished my work, it's time for today's main course...
Sub-event! Making unadon.

After finally capturing one, it is ready for cooking.

While we were grilling the eel, he told us about Lake Hamana eel.

Eel, fun.

Put on the Inspiral Gloves and proceed to the skewering process.

If you can understand this, you too will be a skewering master.

Of course, the skewer didn't slip at all.

Now onto the sauce grilling process.

Here too, they explained things to me very carefully. Thank you very much!

The moment it was set ablaze, the entire venue was filled with the scent of victory.

Victory.

After three baking steps, it is finally complete.

And then the bowl arrives.

I put the finished unadon into my mouth.

--This is the taste of effort, sweat, and laughter.

Victory.

The aroma of steam and sauce is the taste of victory. UMAI.

Results and lessons learned

Results: I tried to grab one eel, and only managed to grab one. A 100% success rate.
The Inspiral Gloves certainly helped.

However, it didn't go as far as "control the rain, turn sweat into strength, and even slime into strength."

Don't be overconfident. It's the same in golf. Overconfidence is a no-no, absolutely not.

Here are the real side effects:

I can't get rid of the eel smell
My lower back hurts
More tiring than expected

The smell still lingers faintly on my hands, and the memory of "eel" remains in my gloves.
It doesn't completely disappear even after washing - a testament to the battle.

Lesson learned: I vow to myself that I want to improve my ability to not slip in the future.
