Sounds like you read to many books, that could be a quote from "secrets of fishing at night by doc moeller"
Use a rag it give a fine"purchase"

on eels
Throw them in the sand first and grab em with your bare hands! thats how the old timers did it.

I just love the word "purchase"
This is not rocket science, eels are easy to fish, whack em, put them on the hook cast out and bring in slowly, simple as that.............
