Then again, I've been seriously outfished on three occassions when using eels by a guy with loaded Rapala slivers, a guy with a fly rod, and a guy with a danny. Once, during daylight, I've had multiple 30lb bass ignore eels and crush a flaptail plug. Many nights I fish with a guy who has seven 50+ lb bass from shore to his credit (most on eels) and often I do as well with plugs as he does with eels. Obviously bait is a surer thing than wood, but when fishing becomes a sure thing a lot of the fun disappears. There is a time and a place for it all.
