I can see why a rigged eel would be better than a wood plug, but is there ever a time when someone would prefer a riiged dead eel over a LIVE eel? Im not talking about the convenience or money-saving factors, im talking pure fish-catching ability... I have saved dead eels, and everytime Im about to rig some, I just end up buying some live eels instead... the way I see it is, my time spent out fishing is valuable, and if fishing a live gives me a better shot, its worth the 10$ worth of eels for the night...
