alot of factors effect the size of the eel i use, I'm strictly a cow stalker and dont care about #'s of fish caught or schoolies, I like using big eels, IMHO I catch less schoolies by using the larger ones, it's a matter of economics, small fish have a harder time eating the big bait..big fish want a meal worth the effort. (16-18" is good bye me)

The exception to the rule would be the nights when there is alot of fire in the water, these nights, a small bait often outfishes the big...

Another reason to use big bait is the knot factor, large eels are less likely to ball up.....
