I troll them in my tin boat under the sun and do very well. A lot has to do with where you are fishing though. As far as dead goes they are killer that way too. Had a bluefish rip one to shreads when I reeled it back in rear half hanging on by a thread next cast 49 lbs., from shore too. I luv eels. Paul

eels are a NIGHT TIME experience... have used them in the daytime, but night is the best time..... I agree with the "lively as possible" statement... can't undertand why you would want to smash it... swimming is best. you will have NO problem telling when a bass is at the eel.... just remember to wait after the initial pull for a short lull... when the next pull happens set the hook... the bass will take the eel and make a short run with it... stop... turn it then try another run.
