In that case,I dont mind abit of rowing with a live bait.

On a serious note, when trolling these eels would a 3 way swivel work as a better connection thaa a stand off knot like you have on mackerel feathers.

From my reading of the new rule, trolling isn't illegal, trolling with tuna gear is illegal

Sweet blood loops work, thats the job, I dont want to use expensive lures at this place. Thanks for confirming.
