I like eels i fish them kinda weird.I hold the rod tip way high like even back behind my head held kinda loosely.when I feel the pickup i lower the tip an reel up till i feel the line tighten an set the hook.It only takes a second.In all my time fishin I only cleaned one bass wit a eel in its stomach.I believe the hit eels out of aggression then try to kill em an spit em out.wit the fast hook set i started missin alot less fish.I don't like to mix my reels up it gets confusing.so i use a 706 wit 20 or 30 fireline. the 1L is to light for me I use the 120 1M, my 10' glass rod which is nice for eels or my 11 ft arra.
