I cant take credit for the brass nut thing, its the " al bensten method"

the zip ties are the "zeno hromin method" from his site

the swivel is the "bryan oakley method" from what I got from Thumper, I could be wrong. It's happened before!

So basically my eels are a combination set up of three proven methods.

On zenos site he covers the al bensten method and the zip tie method, has step by step videos on how to make them each way.

I would also like to give a lot of credit to Thumper who walkd me threw some of the steps and gave me the ideas. Thanks man.

Its such a great way to catch fish, you can throw them crazy far, way farther than an eel, fish them at all water levels, fast or slow, twitch, pause, whatever. Like fishing the best fish catching plug ever. Plus the hits are unmatched, Ive never had a fish hit a plug as hard as they hit a riggie. Beat the summer doldrums and fish these

It allows you an easier connection, the mustad hooks are super thick, which makes it tough to get a clip on.

Plus I like being able to put the hook further down in the eel, gives a more solid connection.
