rigged eels will often catch when plugs won't and they work about as well as live ones and they are easier to deal with and cheaper and you can keep freezing em and thawing em and they still work and they work well on a pt jude wobble head and they cast well
oh yeah, mistakes... not sure what the mistake was... but I had problems with my fireline digging in on my 706z and lost 2 good fish in a row. Got a new reel so maybe I'll just sell my 706
