30 eels?
When I go to the canal for the night, I get about a dozen. If I lose a few in quick succession, I switch over to single-hook plugs. IMO, Why waste the time and money? |

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

I don't fish eels, but 30 seems like a lot of bait to waste. Why not switch to plugs?
