i rig them A.B. style too. only rigged a few and this was actually the first fish that i landed on one. doubled 50 lb dacron to the tail hook.
the only thing I do different than Al is that I don't solder the hook. i use a metal epoxy putty and form the bulge to tie the head off to with that. i basically mold a thin layer of the putty around the hook shank with a bulge about 1/2" down from the eye and through the eye of the hook and it holds in place well. it doesn't hold well if you just form the bulge on the hook (relying on shear bond) and don't "tie" it through the eye of the hook.
