Bill, I wasn't arguing, just asking. I have meant to give the hook down method a try for some time, I just always forget and jam the hook in the way I'm used to doing it. I do like the idea, though, for when the eel begins to die and I need to add some action to it. With the hook pointing up, it comes in belly up and never catches.
