Don't need a tail hook for eels on Striped Bass as the keeper size on up always hit the eel head first and you take em on the head hook.
The rats grab the eel by the tail to shake it and whack it against a rock to stun it and then chomp on it but you don't want small fish anyway!
The other thing you get with the tail hook, and why "they" recommend wire on the tail hook is for that darn Blue Fish. He will always come up behind the eel and chomp him in half. With the second hook you will catch the Blue Fish.
