I am not catching a damn thing on those rubber eels this year. Last year I hammered fish with them, this year I can't buy a hit. I have even put them on when getting fish every cast with plugs...and NOTHING for 10 casts...I couldn't take it any longer, switched back to a plug and was on with the first cast.
I am loosing confidence with rubber. And it is not me either, I am hearing similar stories from others too.
