If you pour your own lead or know someone who does. have them make you a cylinder type weight 1.2 oz to 1oz is good, with a brass eye at one end. You stuff the weight into the eels mouth, then when you hook the eel, you passs the hook through the brass eye of the weight.
Giving it a bit more thought, you can prbably use small tail weights used in lure building with a piece of through wire.
or as other mentioned rubber cores.
