Any bait .... live or dead can be finessed to catch more than if not except for the rare situations which still may contain skill. Luck is always a factor for those who excell and for those that don`t ....I think.

as far as eels are concerned,whether they are rigged or live is an art within itself, just as rubber worm fishing is in sweetwater. in regards to luck involved when catching cows, i feel the elite who know the water, the tides, the moon know that something LARGER (30+#bass)will be holding in a sepcific spot (boulders, rips, 1 foot drop in the middle of a 3 mile long beach). Put your time in, keep a log book and it will pay off. But there is without a doubt skill to fishing with eels.

No Way is it luck
