Rigged eel storage

[PaulS]

Another question

I was going to buy my eels last night and hopefully rig them as described by Bryan in last week's fisherman. The guy at the B & T had an interesting suggestion. He said that I should create a brine solution and put the live eels in and let them drink up some of the brine. The Kosher salt will toughen up the insides and make the riggy last longer (assuming blue fish don't get at them).

Any thoughts on this.

Thanks again.
