Eben, I know your question is for #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&, but I find that the only real problem with small eels is that they are difficult to cast, especially into the wind. For surf-fishing, I like an eel heavy enough to get a good casting distance, even if the blow is a bit in my face.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
