rigged eel question

[Saltheart]

I wrap mine tight where the arrows are shown. the front one is behind the head hump (the head itself prevemnts the tight wrap from slipping forward) at the place where the hook exits the eel. the rear one is also at the place the hook exits the eel. these wraps like shown will enable you to cast hard and allow the eel to be used for multiple fish. The one behind the head at the hook exit point is especially important.

Also , is the rear hook coming out its butt hole? It looks too far forward to me??

thanks. maybe i'll throw some small cable ties at the locations you mentioned. you would tie them off in front of the hook, right (inside the bend)? the tail hook tie off is sewn through the eel and the head is secured with a ball of dacron tied in place through the eye of the hook, if that matters.

yes, the hooks are in the butt hole, maybe I just have some anatomically interesting eels

Yes , in both locations the wrap is in front of the hook bend. If you use cable ties , make them tight.
