Don,
You'll note most people who fish eels retrieve with the rod straight up. When they get a hit they drop the rod tip and wait a five or ten count take up the slack and set the hook (I have to force myself to wait 5). Bass will rarely set the hook themselves unless you are using circle hooks.

I found my fluking bag stinkin up the car and the garage, after a year I finally found a mummie I lost in it............
