I find it easier to handle the eels that way, especially in rough surf. Also, I don't have to have a bucket or bag hanging from my belt.

I tried it but it is hard to hook them in the bag. They squirm too much especially when they are warm. I swim with them out to a rock so they are always warm. Even cold they are nuisance to hook.
