I've been hooking my live eels through the bottom of the mouth. This seems to work pretty well. A lot of guys use the plastic red gills as teasers.

Keith, here is a bit of explanation: A teaser is something like a red gill or saltwater fly that you tie onto your main line on a shorter leader so that it swims in front of your plug that is on a longer leader. I know my explanation is a little lacking, so maybe someone else can explain it better. From what I've read a lot of people think that this causes a reactionary strike from fish because they see what appears to be one fish chasing another smaller fish.
