The water was moving so much that eels wouldn't have gotten down deep enough. We had to use something heavy and we were the only people I saw hook up in the short time that we fished, so I can't complain. I'm not against eels by any stretch. In fact, I'll be using them next week at night. But they only come out after I've determined that the fish aren't interested in wood.

Fish them in the last hour of the tide, unweighted
Or use an egg sinker above the swivel (peg it with a toothpick), or a Rubbercore. Rubbercores tend to come off braid pretty easily on the cast, though.
