David, if you are looking to get them down, cast upcurrent like CRatt said but you can also add rubber core sinkers like 1/2 or 3/4 ounce to help keep you down.

Fishifinder rigs can work too but you would want a fair amount of line our to the eel. One thing to keep in mind, in order to best work the eel, you want the minimum amount of tackle involved and you should keep in tight but slow contact with the eel, and use good swivels as this helps reduce the eel's spinning which isn't very natural looking. I've been usiing the SPRO swivels lately when I need them. They are not too good for plugs and teasers but are great when you just want a low profile but strong swivel in the mix...
