DZ , why do you like swinging hooks on eelbobs

[Saltheart]

DZ,
I read you stuff on the eel bobs and just curious about why you think swinging hooks are importatnt. I assume its for better holding power after hookup . I can't see what difference it makes in the rigging or action before hook up or the probability of hooking up on a strike since its stationary once inpaled into the eel.

Anyway , please enlighten us. I carry tons of jigs with me that are fixed hook with a barb tail. Why not just hook the eel and tie on the barb , why carry seperate swinging hook jigs??

Thanks
Saltheart
