For securing the head hook, I have modified my method a little bit. After I have completed 2 or 3 half-hitches on the head hook (6.24 into this video), I add a small zip-tie right in line on the hook and then half-hitch a few times in front and in back of the tie. When the tag end of the zip-tie is clipped off it leaves a nub. Then when the head is secured either with large zip-ties or Dacron (8.40 into this video) in front of the internal zip-tie, the eel is locked in place and will not move. This was an addition I began trying after I made this video but one which is done on all my eels now.
