I do not see any reason why you wold not be able to troll an eel skin rig.
You would just have to experiment a little to see how close you are to the bottom. You might even be able to get that rig to bounce right along.
If you really think about it...the rig is not that much different than the ever popular tube and worm rig.
I would just want a good swivel somewhere.
You can also cut that wired hook off of that rig. You do not need the other hook and it will cause more harm than good.
The key to a good eel skin rig is the skin's ability to let water pass through it. More hooks = more holes = more problems with the water not flowing through it correctly. I blow through mine after almost every cast to make sure they are working. You know you are addicted when you are kissing those rigs ever night.
I have dozens and dozens of jigs down in my basement that I have accumulated over the past couple of years. Get your hands on some of Pogie's jigs and you will not be sorry. He is the professor of the eel skin jig and the work that has gone into that jig is truly remarkable.
Oh---my last tip---you want the skins in different sizes. Sometimes the fish will be on short skins and I am talking like 4 or 5 inches short and sometimes they will want them longer.
