I have nothing against the plug crowd, to each his own I guess. But If I had a gun to my head and it was a fish that would save my life. I opt for the Live eel !

Any moron can stand on a barron beach and cast an eel till his arm falls off and catch nada, same goes for the plug crowd, you can cast them till the paint falls off and get nothing but rusted hooks! Both methods requier that the fisherman read his water and know how a bass thinks and where its likely to be caught.What the eels will do is let you know whats there in a hurry and IMO give you the best shot at hooking up with a nice bass, If I were to only fish plugs in some spots, I could not honeslty say I covered it well enough to say "there are no fish here, go home" Not so with an eel. I know this because I have stood next to some good pluggers and outfished them with eels, had I not been there they would have said the place was dead. I have always said that the Wise fisherman never turns his nose up at anything and is willing to fish all methods for a shot at success. But fish how ya want it makes no difference to me how one fishes. Its a free country!
