I carry several in the boat and one ten footer on the beach, I just added a new Quantum Cabo CLW-20 to the ten foot JKFISHER and I luv it. The Cabo has ceramic drag washers and boy are they the cat's pj's!!! As I said before certain plugs just work better with a conventional such as Bernzy's Howdys and Pencil poppers. Big stuff like the largets Dannys and Habs big assed needles are better served, especially in the casting, by a conventional. I have been using the big JK with Tattoo's Darter and have much better feel and control with it and when a fish takes that plug I can control it better in a fast current. On all my conventionals I use Stealth braid from 30 to 50 pound, it casts real nice and holds up well. Try your conventional with eels, I think you will like it.
