It's nice when unhooking a fish too. Does the eel tend to stay put more with a weight in its mouth?

yes, the eels die quicker and tend to tear off more when you get fish. its only something i go to when i have to based on conditions. i actually like freshly dead or near dead eels anyway, especially when drifting.
