Is it standard practice to sew the eels mouth shut when rigging on a wobblehead, or do most cut the head off and just thread the body on?

I assume the head is removed on the eel bob as well?

Are there any nuances of fishing an eel bob that make it much different than fishing a standard jig with a sluggo or pork rind? Is it worked differently?

I know that the wobbleheads are deadly, first hand, but have never used an eel bob, just bought a few.

I am trying to make the most of my dead eels for this year, I also plan on rigging a few in the "Bentson" style as well.

Thanks for all input.
