Ells look most natural without weight. When I fish Hatchetts Reef in CT I use a big swivel and 7-0 Ocupuss Circle hook with 4' Floro. The big swivel and hook helps keep them down. We fish in 2-3 kts of current and the eels get down. Eels want to go one place... Down. We also found that 50lb braid helps... thinner dia...
I fish a lot in CT and 50% of my total fishing is with Eels. I plan to hit Race point more with Eels thats why I'm working on a new, faster drier ride.
One thing CT and MA have in common... Stripers LOVE Eels...
