Really great for tuna, good for bass, but the price of them makes it hurt when a bluefish chomps one. Factory rigging is really strong (200# tuna strong) and all but the best home rigged ones tend not to track as nicely in the water.
I tend to think of it as a glide bait or almost a walk the dog bait rather then something with a lot of wiggle. Hogy is what you need if that's what you're looking for.
At the end of the day I usually have one on me but the price of an eel results in me fishing that far more often when fishing from the surf at night.
The white one during the day though is a different story, I always have plenty on me especially when fishing shallow water from the boat for stripers.
