Rigged Eel question

[RIfoosball]

If I'm suppposed to be posting this question on a different forum heading I apologize in advance for the inconvenience of this novice type question.

I've never rigged a dead eel and would like to try fishing with one. I have read the thread that's on the How To Forum and have noticed that the hooks come out of the bottom of the fish.

I have recently watched Steve McKenna's Youtube video on How To Rig a Sluggo and so my question is this:

Can you rig a dead eel the same way as Steve rigs a Sluggo?

Thanks. Bruce.
