For me, feeling a hit on a plug is so obvious. If it's any plug other than a popper, you pretty much hook up just by reeling tight and setting up or the fish hook themselves. On a popper you want to drop the rod a bit on a strike maybe stop reeling for a sec. till you feel the fish on.
With eels, sometimes they get very jumpy when a bass approaches them as they swim for dearlife. you know when a bass takes it and drop the rod, then set. Sometines freespool the reel or open the bail and let the bass run with the eel a bit , then setup and whack them good, unless you use a circle hook.
I would suggest you stick with mono at first, then after some experience maybetry braids.
