Also just for info, you want to be using a three way rig with about a two foot or a little more dropper for your weight, and about five feet of leader with a single hook.
It seems that ticking the bottom is not the way to go, four to one hits by the stripes when the eel was a couple of feet off the bottom instead of being dragged along the bottom.
At least that was our experience, we had one set up with a fish finder rig and one with a three ounce barrel weight on the line, both would work but the three way rig with the eel up off the bottom and just the weight ticking the bottom was the ticket for the big girls.
