With skin jigs you can cover a hell of a lot of water and different zones in the water column. Also fishing live eels can be a task (although it is my preferred method of fishing) keeping them alive, worrying about eel balls, etc. The effort of of skinning them is well worth it THEY produce. I also use them on Large swimmers and troll them. Deadly. If you are going to fish dead eels be sure to break the back a few times so they "swim" naturally. You can keep the dead/rigged eel for years by keeping them in salt in your freezer.
