I agree that in the hands of an average fisherman, the live eel is a better choice. The live eel does much of the presentation for the angler, whereas with the Slug-Go, the presentation falls on the fisherman.

To say that the rise of soft plastics is a fad however, I respectfully disagree with that assessment. Slug-Go's and other soft plastics are well past the fad stage and have taken their place among other top-tier artificials - they are here to stay.

I like to eel fish, but within five years I think we'll need to poach eels or obtain them illegally if we want to continue that style of fishing.
