1. Effectiveness:
eels

2. Skill Level
plugs- I like the idea of not using the fishes natural food. Then your just feeding them. Of course they are going to eat a juicy eel. But tricking them into thinking your lure shaped like some driftwood is food takes skill.

3. Fun
plugs

4. Catch and Release
Id say its a close call. Plugs can certainly do a lot of damage. Especially when you have 3 4/0 trebles dangling around. And eels can easily slide down into the throat or belly, get lodged in there, and that fish is as good as dead.

5. Cost
Eels, are more expensive. If I took all the bluefish I caught on plugs, it would be alot of money down the drain. When I can reuse a plug for life.

6.Which is closer to being wiped out completely?
