yikes..I am giving away my store!!
(just kiddin)
If I am fishing in water over 10 feet I may use a half ounce.( I tend to use weight more in rough water or in a current) Remember eels do sink so in water up to that height you really dont need it, I am looking to get my eels down faster in higher depths so I will use the weight to speed up the process.
As for the difference in rigged and live , its completley different, I just reel in the live one slow and let the eel do the work, every now and then a speed cahnge can produce a strike , especially when your close to the shore sometimes I will speed it up and that can trigger vicious hits right at your feet. The bass may be following that thing from the start and as soon as the fish sees the change bang! You just kind of have to feel all these things out with time and practice.
Most people make the mistake of thinking about the second cast before they finish the first! Big mistake, reel all the way to your feet, you will be amazed at the fish that will hit right in the wash...........
