There are three speeds to fish live eels...slow,slower,and even slower than that. Live is better than dead unless you rig the dead ones.I prefer dead rigged eels to live but many will argue about that preference.
For live eels you need to develop the poise to not get all herky jerky if you feel a fish take it. Ideally you give some slack (by dropping rod tip and sometimes free spooling line) then set the hook a few seconds after the fish runs with it.
