spin..only if it's blowing more then 25 in your face....toss eel..let sink..dead slow retreive..twitch-twitch..back to dead slow....bump..throw the bail open..hold line in finger's...let run...humm-humm-humm..engage bail..let line tighten up abit...set hook.
conv.....toss eel....dead slow retreive..bump....free spool....hummm-humm-humm...engage reel...line tighten..set hook.
now is fine if there's no tide running...but if at any place where the water is moving out over/around/out beyond a point or headed offshore....toss eel....plop....let the eel head out on it's own till 3/4 of your spool is gone..then engage and retreive.
sometimes bass don't like slow eels..they only want them doing 90 through the water[trust me on this]..eel's DON"T need to be alive either to work well.
eels can be dead sticked alive too....2-3-4oz bank sinker..one foot leader..hook....they can also be tail hook and tossed out with weight to sit on the bottom....or you can when fishing in a dingy..drop them over the side dead with an egg sink...let it hit the bottom..twitch-twitch..bang.
eels can be trolled on lead core or wire with weight to get them down in 50-80 feet of water.
bass love eels dead or alive so don't toss those dead ones away...they will freeze up nicely till needed.
