Larry next time you are doing an eel slinging session on the run try putting your
eels in 1.A plastic garbage bag works real good and the eels seem to stay lively
for a whole night of slinging 2. I found an even better thing to carry them then
the garbage bags I had been using, try finding a cloth mesh laudry bag with a draw string
at the top to close the bag, I used this arrangement while wading and tied the drawstring
to my wader belt it keeps the eels alive indefinitely as they are in the water all the time
you are fishing. I know you are not wading but the bag should do the trick for you,
you dont have to put it down just open it up use a rag to grab the eel you want and it
is BASSTIME. I hope that these ideas are some help to you.........Striper
