I can be petty stubborn as far as technique goes! I have fished eels and loved it! The most enjoyable way to fish to me is with wooden plugs! Its just alot of fun, especially where I make my own I enjoy using them! Seeing fish hammer plugs topwater is the best! Feeling a fish strike a swimmer after dark is also a blast!! If there were guys up and down the beach catching fish on chunks or eels or on tins or on rubber.....I would stick with the method I enjoy and take my chances! I am out there to enjoy myself! I caught all my fish this year on my own wood......except 2 fish on a hopkins, 1 on a Gags needle, 1 on an Afterhours needle!!! I caught more fish this year than any other...granted there was no size to speak of but that is because they were not there! I had tons of fun fishing the way I enjoy fishing....with wood!
Also forgot to mention...coaxing fish out of where ever they are with a piece of homemade wood is pretty challenging!
