I ice them down pretty good and they dont get too rowdy. I dont beat 'em either, I dont want my live bait dead. I like them pretty damn squirmy, wide awake or not, they're only moving as fast as you bring 'em in. I cant tell you how many times I 've free spooled an eel that just freaked out (because it was'nt beat to near death) given it a 5 count and setup on fish.
Funny you mention that the other night came across this guy that it seemed wanted to fish his live bait dead, I mean he was BEATING on the things. I was in the shadows giggling to myself..
