Eel bobs and wobbleheads

Anyone have any useful tips on rigging and using these with dead eels?

I've used some nylon rod wrapping thread to tie on dead ones......the action the wobbleheads and dead eels is absolutely insane.

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.
