also, try casting the eel further up current (w/o weight) and give it slack for a longer period of time. it'll swim down.

i've only really found using rubber core (1/8 or 1/4 oz) to really be effective when cross winds and trying to stay in contact with the eel are the issue, not current.

if the current is too strong to effectively drift, try an eel bob (fish it like a jig) or swim plate (cast up current, let in sink, then let it swing) to get it down.
