Dave;
What I do eeling...
When I get the hit, I drop the tip and freespool the line (2-5sec depending on eel size) while raising the tip slightly, then drop the rod tip and pull the line on the roller and set the hook in one motion... that makes it sound alot more complicated than it really is....
If I was free spooling an outflow I would have my rod tip high anyways so I would just dip and then set the hook.... first couple of times I missed, second nature now...
