When I tie off the hooks I like to use a waxed string like bow string comes in black the wax keeps tension when u pull it down.i usually tie off on the hook bend with square nots an then tie off around the body i find this holds the hook in place better keeps it from rollin up on its sides.Sevral knots around the hook an eel gets it done right then i tie off around the eyelet to make sure she don't slide up.i know guys used to take great pride inthier riggeds.some usta slice down the bellies an remove the entrails san sew em back up after toughening with salt.this prolonged the life of the eel an kept em from breaking down i kill my riggeds slowly by putting them in a pail an slowly adding kosher salt as to purge them an hewlp pickle em from the inside.O I use squids with my riggedeels doubled up 50 lb black dacron.Makes the eel swim in a S like fashion they absolutely mug it when they hit em.

Are rigged eels really worth all the trouble?? I caught 3-4 of my biggest fish on dead eels rigged no differently then if they were alive, taken fresh out of the freezer. Seems like a lot of work .
