I know the "bait of choice" in the spring is the herring, but how soon till you normally switch over to eels? Are the bass so keyed in on herring and squid that they ignore eels or do you find that eels are a universal big fish bait.

To date, I have not had a lot of luck with eels in the spring, but that could be a result of fishing when I can rather than when I want to.....
