I will have to check my riggies from a year and a half ago, which have anodized hooks to see how they are holding up. I use 60# and 80# test main line with a 10 foot leader spliced inside the braid to reduce break offs. It isn't what many consider the right way to fish but I catch my share of fish.
I think it's great you make calculated efforts to cause as little harm as possible but don't chastise others because we don't chase stripers with tuna gear.

Get busy livin'...or get busy dyin'...
