PMbrac,
No need to feed line to a fish when using eels. I use a VS when eeling - feel the take, drop rod tip and strike.

VS 275 has a high speed retrieve ratio, not the best choice when using eels - you'll have to make a concerted effort to really slow down your retrieve with the 275 when using eels. The slower the better.
