Missing zipties.
specifically, at least one needs to go through the eye of the hook to really lock it down...
Also, you can get away w/ much smaller ties....

I'd say chef chris has one extra tie... one or two through the eye, one at the bend.

I skip the nut. zip-tie through one eye of the swivel.
done

Thanks for the tip bro. Not sure if you can see it but I used 80# braid through the eel's eyes, hook eye and out the bottom jaw. Probably not as good as the smaller ties but all I had were those big low profile ties. I'll have to hit job lot for some smaller ties. Like I said those were the first ones I ever tied so I'm open to all forms of advice. The fish gave me their sign of approval the first night
