That's a good point SOTB. In some conditions the visibility might hurt you.
As I stated above , I don't like the idea of rigging with braid since you may get cut tightening the knots and I want to avoid getting any of that extremely fouls smelling eel guck in any cuts.
I have always used 50 or 60 LB Ande and it works fine if you leave a little extra length inside so the tail hook doesn't pull up and put a bend in the eel which will cause it to twist wildly. On my eels the tail hook actually gets pulled out when a fish is hooked on it. that's because I leave a little extra length inside. You just shove the tail hook back up inside when you get the fish off and keep fishing for the world record.
If you are going to rig some , try the laser sharp hooks. I think the fact that they are so sharp and penetrate easily do to the low wire diameter is what makes them so deadly.
