Actually you can fish rigged eels dead slow cause they will not tangle the line like a live on which tends to ball up if you don't keep it heading in.
I think the only thing a live one has as an advantage is that it twitches when the bass grabs it that must feel like the thing trying to get away to a bass. I think this makes the bass grab harder and swallow.
This is a small advantage though and is way out weighed by the many other bigger advantages of the rigged eel already stated above.
i think we can all agree they are a pain to rig though.
