Has anyone tried this?...

You have all invented the perfect catchless eel!

Otay - just my opinions here:

Has anyone ever tried to superglue a hook to a live eel?...

I was considering trying to set up a rig that utilizes a small tubular piece of foam (for bouyancy) much like the foam used today for earplugs in the workplace with a hook going through it..

I was wondering if this would adhere to the skin of an eel using crazyglue?

I was hoping to find a way to keep the eel off the bottom while using a weight & fishfinder on a rig.

Has anyone ever tried something like this?...

If you're going to chunk an eel and it's live, you're gonna have problems. I've heard of some people hooking thru a tail but when I tried it a while back, still had the eel ball up. You can chunk a fresh dead one.... Why does the eel work so well? Because you are using a live bait that you can impart control on AND take advantage of some of it's characteristics. LET the eel swim deep, let it move around an cover some ground, let it spread it's scent around as it moves, let it get it's little vibrations out.

Don't glue it to a bobber and chunk it... Just my humble Opinion.... I think he's gonna jump from Hazzard & Newton....
