It goes in pretty easy acually, I pinch the eel near his head and the mouth opens nice and wide, Thats acually a short shank hook so it gets good and covered.
I dont like the octopus hooks because they are to thin and tear thru the eel to easily and have a longet shank than I like, to me, the Mustad 94150 6/0 is the best eel hook on the market. I sharpen my hooks to a needle point and they are just as sharp as gamis.....
They used to call that hook a "live bait" hook now they call it an "all around" still the same hook.
