I love both yet I'd take a plug off to put an eel on yet almost never take an eel off for a plug.a few times they ignored eels and took plugs. 90% of the time it is an eel that I'am throwing.cost- eels cost me more cuase I buy more.c&r about the some damage sometimes if the hook is deep on a large bass I can cut the leader and pull the hook out the same way it went in not damaging the fish.eels are fun but I love raising a good fish with surface plugs.I guess they booth win.
