Thanks for the help everybody...

1. I think I'll try chunking the canal until I get some braided line. Jigging with mono isn't much fun or productive given the stretch.

2. I do fish my eels slowly. It's the one thing I do know about throwing eels. I can feel it on the bottom, it gets hung up occasionally, and I couldn't possibly reel slower. Do you have to let the fish run with it before trying to hook it, or will the fish sometimes hook themselves on a hard strike?

3. Thanks Specialist for the PM. I'll try up there.

4. I'll still find them pikies.

5. No can do on the Rhody fling. I need to get to the Cape to pick up my small St. Croix so I don't have to throw little Storm Wildeye shads with a big stick anymore. Plus, my folks have a place there, and that makes sleeping easier.

6. Breathable waders can still smell bad. Plus "The Glove" (All purpose eel grabber, and fish toucher) has been unknowingly in the trunk and the smell came through. It's Fabreeze time.

7. I'll get my extra spool filled with some of that Fire line this weekend.

8. I agree wholeheartedly about a man never having enough rods, reels, plugs, and terminal tackle. HOWEVER, my fiance has a very, very, very, very different opinion of this. "But this one's a conventional Honey"..."And the other three aren't???". I'm gonna have to sneak this one by her.
