we always just used 24" of 20lb. leader an a old reg. 5/0 hook....17 lb. running line on the reel....corse we had sandy beaches,no stones.
hooking the eel was always in an out the bottom cause we figured with the hook point pointing down it would catch the lower or side of the mouth which is softer..being the roof of the mouth is nothing but hard bone on a bass...only time when we missed was yanking to soon...first fish of the nite an all.
