I'll cover the arguments here we dont' waste our time:
eeling is "too easy" so plugs are better.
plugs require more skill
plugs are for real hardcore surfcasters
plugging is for winners, eels are for losers
eels are going to be endagered soon, so learn plugs
eels are for people that want to take the easy way out of things
eels work when nothing else will
eels work, so why bother with plugs
eels consistantly catch bigger fish than plugs
eels are for real hardcore surfcasters
eels are for real men, plugs are for sissies
did I get em' all?
just get out there!!!!
