Exactly! What is easier, reeling faster when you need it or reeling slower when you need it? I have eeled with just about all of them and can not honestly say there is a
best reel out there. For MANY years, I thought you were a googan if you ever threw an eel on anything other than conventional. Then I started wetsuiting a few years back and realized I had to open my mind if I was going to succeed. Since then, I have successfully used every size VS, a Saltiga, a ZeeBaas, throw in a conventional once in a while from a dry perch, and ultimatley have used my VS275 the most this season. Simply put, the best eeling reel out there is the reel you are most comfortable with in the given suituation you are fishing.
