Eel grab

[cpollnow]

Sand, a burlap rag or a zip lock bag.

You can buy burlap in bulk at your local hardware store, Lowe's, Home Depot etc.

With a zip lock, hook the eel while it's in the bag and then pull it out.

Rig them after they die and hope the bluefish don't get to them.

Give credit where credit is due - legendary surfcaster Tony Chiarappo told me that term about 15 years ago when we were discussing the increased effectiveness of dead eels over live at times in the pursuit of larger bass.

Old timer I used to eel with on the outer cape used to do this all the time. Small "snack" sized ziploc bag. Just hooked them and pulled them from the bag. He would keep the pockets of his fly vest stocked with them when wading or carried a mesh bag on his side with the bagged eels in that.
