I don't know if this will help you but you can give it a try. When i get tired beach fishing with a spinning rod i stuff my thumb inside the top of my waders which causes the rod to almost touch my cap visor or almost strait up. In this position when i get a hit i just lower the rod and when the fish takes up the slack i come back with the hook set. I have found that there are times when small fish grab an eel midway and i set the hook that i lose them, but not large fish that can suck up the eel. Hope this helps
