Who would fish without eels?

Shore Angler of the Year prior to Mike taking it over was being held by someone who got the job done on plugs. Topwater no less in several cases.

For me where I'm fishing dictates what I use as much as anything else.

If what I need to cast to is out of reach of an eel, what I need to cast to is out of reach of an eel. So I plug.

And if the spot is known for giving up big bass on eels that usually ignore plugs and are fortunately at close range, well, then the spot is going to get eels.

So this is one of the reasons for Rigged Eels. You never run out. I have switched over to riggies exclusively. Cast farther, more durable (except when the yellow eye dogs are around) and the bass absolutely clobber them. The big girls love riggies. Easy to store (just freeze and re-use) and if you rig enough in advance you are never without the most deadly of baits.
