Interesting post. I rake sand eels and from my observations in shallowish water I find sand eels to be very fast swimmers and can move very rapidly from one submerged burrow to the next at lightening speed. They fly into the sand at reckless abandon. In deeper water they tend to stay in large schools for the strength in numbers theme and move together. I also have seen them sit horizontal, suspended, like you said. I like to make my needles sit sort of flat , suspend, because I fish in fairly sandy shallow water from a tin boat and I tend to twitch the lure more than reel it right in. The singled out injured bait look. I guess it has to do with where I am using the lure.
