casting off eels.
take a plastic milk jug, and cut off a flat side of plastic.
Cut this into strips.
Cut the strips into squares
You want the squares to be a little bit larger than the widest part of your hook at the barb.
hook eel on whichever way you prefer.
Then slide the plastic square onto the hook and behind the bard. This will act as a stopper of sorts to prevent from casting off eels. It does happen though, and this has come in handy for me when we've got some heavy action going and not enough eels around.
theres other stuff you can do also.
