Joey--you can fish wearing boxing gloves and still feel a bass hit an eel, even with mono.

Joey, MikeP's right. I think keeping a level head is the hardest part.When you feel the fish, it's hard not to set up hard and fast. Sometimes you can feel the eel slide right through the bass's lips. NIB's method may deserve some further attention.

Live eel fishin acccounts for maybe 10 per cent of my fishing i would rather thro a rigged eel(with a swimplate/squid)I think they work as good or better especially in bigger water.I can't believe they are not as popular in RI an the cape.The're are many different squids to fish in big or flatter water in any level of the water colum.Like ditch says they really wac a rigged ell also.no guess work on the hooksets.They are kinda involved to wrap up prbly why not so popular.I know I should tro em more just dealin wit em is a pain.if i was gonna Go at i would set up a cooler an air pump for the truck an take all but a few plugs out so it would be eels an nothing else i know they produce but its just not a prefered style of fishing for me.

Spool up with 20lb and tie a 50lb leader about 5 feet long to the main line then tie the leader direct to the hook with a polamar knot, tie the main line to leader with a bimini twist..no snaps, swivels etc...none needed
