The ratio of landed fish will almost certainly be higher when fishing a single hook versus a treble.

Thing is though, if you were fishing with an eel its likely you were fishing at night.

Night fishing implies a level of difficulty most people can't or won't entertain, particularly pencil fishermen, who are afraid of the dark.

Thus, pencils are easier.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
