When the tag end of the zip-tie is clipped off it leaves a nub. Then when the head is secured either with large zip-ties or Dacron (8.40 into this video) in front of the internal zip-tie, the eel is locked in place and will not move. This was an addition I began trying after I made this video but one which is done on all my eels now.
