you don't need to use a fishfinder rig for eel at night. fishfinder rig is one of the most easiest thing a person can rig up on the spot he or she fishes at. it doesnt have to be pre-made. use a 80 lbs-150 lbs crane barrel or any kind of strongest bareel swivel u can use. then measure your leader (fluro in 30-80 lbs or 60 lbs mono) from your both arms. then apply a palmoaur knot on the hook and barrel swivel with the leader. then use the slider. put ur main line through your fishfider slider. then add a weight. then you are set.

use gakasmatu hook octopus 7/0 for clams. gakasmatu octopus hook 5/0 or 6/0 for eels (i learned this from a friend of mine). wide circle hooks or circle hooks should be around from 2/0-5/0 (from my experience). some people say that diachi demon circle hooks are wonder. you can try that.
