Another option is the eel bob.With this you use the back 8 inches of a dead eel and have a 1 oz. lead head on the front.You get the smell and feel of a real eel and can put it where you want in the water ,even on rough nights it will get down where you want it to be.

This is a good bit of literature on the eel bob on Tattoo's site , by DZ. These are pics of the eel bob and the Wobble Head swim plates or "tin squids" as they were called in the old days. You rig the second hook in the eel from the loop in the middle of the lure. This hook ,by the way, can point down.
