Patrick, please don't try to reinvent the wheel, OK? There are several ways to do it, from the sand and burlap mentioned above, to the 3M kitchen scotch pads. I often use a rag or an old sock. Stick your rod under your armpit and rub your hands in the water. Your glove would take so much time to make you could have been at the reef... One other option. If you are using a net bag to hold the eels, you can use that to hold the eel while you hook it... You will still get slimed pretty much no matter what you do...

One other thing, the slime factor on the eel increases dramatically if your eel bucket is not draining well... Something to keep in mind...
