Bliz, all you need is some small water wings, just need to get the eels to put their arms through the....... no wait, that won't work .......
Seriously though, don't get fancy with the rigging or else can you say "EEL BALL"? Just hook em through the mouth and fish them. Use a slip/rubber core sinker if you want to get them down, or three way them if you want to get them really down. Constantly retrieve slowly to keep them out of any hidey holes
