I use wire for deep and braid for shallow conditions.
I like big single plugs (wood/plastic/and eelskins) trolled slow at night but I have my collection of 9'ers when I get need to load up on fish.
It is a lazy way fo fishing but it produces. I have not mastered the tube and worm yet. I have caught fish on it but not like the pro's do. I have a tub of tubes but I do better with a single plug or a parachute then a tube.
Not my favorite way to fish... eel slinging in shallow water is.
