Can't help you with the wire question as I am a surfcaster and rarely go out on boats (sorry) + I only use fluro or mono. If you buy the eels tonight buy 1 bag of ice (do not take the ice out of the bag) and line your bucket/pail/whatever you use them to store with newspaper so the eels will not slime. I've kept eels alive up to 3 days using this method. Good Luck Again!
