Lots of eople fish eels on fishfinders. The only draw back is they tangle the line. If its slapped silly first it can stay out unattended for some time before the big ball of eel and string forms.
They even make an eel wrack (for lack of a better word" that goes on the outside of the eel and keeps it from balling up. Its about 6 inches long with 2 or 3 ribs where the metal fastens to the eels. One time I saw two guys trying to get it inside the eel. What a bloody mess. Finally they asked me what the hey and I told them they had the wrong idea. The eel was like hamburg by then though.
