RE:eeling rod.
Patrick, you don't want to throw eels on a heaver rated 3-8 ounces, IMO you'll want a rod rated 1-5 max and 3/4-3 is probably ideal also, depending on what obstacles are in the areas you fish, you may want stay with the stiffer rod to be able to horse a fish around a little... Just try to keep things simple, especially whereas you are starting a different style of fishing....Don't try to reinvent the wheel...
