Power Eels
Has anyone out there had any success using power eels? I've been switching back and forth between them and slug-go's and so far it's sluggo 6 power eels 0.

Yes I have had success. I used Ron Z's, Sluggos, Power Eels, this season, all black and all caught fish. I didn't notice any one stand out more then the other as far as catching but did find Power Eels and Ron Z's to be more durable. I like Sluggos for the tandem hook rigging option but for lead heads it gets torn up quick. The best one, IMO, with durability (other then stick on eyes coming off), price to quanity, while fishing lead heads are the Power Eels.
