Just fish the same rod you currently use but only go out on nights when the wind is at your back...
As far as rods I currenlty have experience with, my GSB 120 1M is my go-to eeling rod. Plenty of power to turn a big fish, soft enough to be able to lay a full cast into an eel without pulling the hook and light enough to fish all night.
I do enjoy fishing my SB 121 3M with eels, but only have that as a conventional. Not too many fish that rod can't turn and it has the parabolic action I prefer when tossing eels. Never tried that stick wrapped as a spinner, but that may be in my future if my newest toy doesn't work out the way I hope it will.
I did just pick up a St Croix 4SRS110MHMF2 on Saturday to wrap for the coming season. If this blank does what I hope it will, my 120 1M may see little use this season.
