In the past I have used size E rod building thread and zap a gap.. I make a knob out of it on the shank of the hook.
I do the same thing to a lesser amount on my jighooks to hold rubbers on..
I have some 9/0 siwash hooks with large swivels attached to them.I have heard of a technique where you pull the swivel back and rap the eel over the bulge from the swivel..
On Bensons style rigged,the hook only goes in the head about a inch.In other words the front hook is not buried up to the bend.Half of the shank sticking out the bottom side of the eel..
I thought that was odd..Looks like a place where the line could tangle on it on splash down..
What is the reason for this..
