5/0, can u show me how to eel on the canal sometimes? I suck at eeling and would like to observe your ways.
I like eel fishing the Canal w/ Mono on my convench,you really don't miss many hit's cause you're drift fishing.You're line is already peeling off you're spool so when a fish pick's up youre bait you're line is comming off much faster,you're thumb should be on you're spool so you can monitor you're line speed rate.Some times you can tell when you're eels about to get picked off,it'll really goes nut's just before the fish strikes!

When Jigging the Canal you want braid there's no real strech on you line even when youre 100+ yards out you can feel everything.
