Most often the sand eel is work with a slow bounce off the bottom or to suppend the bait.
If that does not work.......start varing how you work the rod tip. Try picking up faster or pull the rod up higher and let the bait fall.
Sometimes a quicker faster retrieve is what the trout want.
Using a 1/8 oz jig head or 1/4 oz is usually best. Maybe 3/8 oz on windy days or to let the bait fall faster to get under the lady fish.
