A time and place for everything.

Eels, of course, are for those who are really bad learners.

plugs are more fun. eels are more productive, on larger fish anyway.

i usually only fish eels when I think I have a shot at some big fish, otherwise its just too boring (i like catching on eels, not fishing them).

riggies are a nice compromise, as much fun to fish as a plug and give you a good chance at big fish, but its alittle more mindless than plugging as there aren't as many decisions to be made. drawback is that, like most plugs, they can't match eels in deeper water. Also, the time spent making a bunch of well-made riggies is not exactly enjoyable.
