I also felt live eels would outfish riggies untill about 8 years ago at Black Point in Narr. Typical slow night in July. Hot, humid and no wind. Bottom of the tide at around 1 AM and I had been throwing live all night. One last cast with a riggie and WHAM! About 25#. 3 more fish in the 20s and I never moved off the rock that I had been throwing live from all night. I became a believer!!! Since then, they are my go to when the fishing is tough.
RIRockhound wrote an article about rigging with plastic wire ties and with his system you can rig an eel in about 10 minutes. Plus they last a lot longer.
