Hey basswipe- the eel is designed to swim with the belly down, so i would reccomend you stab the hook up through the flat side like in this picture. The rubber is pretty strong, so dont worry about it tearing on you from casting. a battle with a few fish might rip it, but not casting. Use a little zap-a-gap on the shank of the hook to hold it in place.
I am working on a photo sheet right now on how to rig them.. its pretty much just like a sluggo as far as rigging, but a little different because of the eels fat belly.
