Thanks for the Info. Lots of good information. The rigging video was great.

I made a rigging needle out of wire coat hangers. what I did is cut a 8 inch section of the coat hanger. Then with a hammer I smashed one end flat. Then drill a small hole for the dacron line. also sharpen the needle end with a file. Just incase you guys were wondering where to get a rigging needle.

That is excellent advice vpass thank you. Smashing a hanger down and drilling in the middle for the line. You must have a lot of very small drill bits, is it a standard metal bit or diamond bit?

John posted a video on how to rig the eels. Thought it was very informative.

This is a pretty ingenious trick when you can't get your hands on a rigging needle. Old school. Nice, vpass.
