Disclaimer: I own a ton of plugs, and I really do enjoy fishing with them at times.

Truth: 90% of the time I am slinging eels. I believe eels allow the presentation that I need to get to the bigger fish. Whether I am dropping them into a trough or a bowl on the outer beaches, lobbing them into a boulder field or letting them swing over a reef into a deep hole... I am throwing a creature that they naturally forage. It is a living, writhing creature with a heartbeat and a scent.

IMO...advantage EELS.
