'Sorry I RE-asked the head hook eye tying question--I didn't see the second page.
Could you use two of the 30/50# lines, side-by-side, where one goes to the tail hook the usual way, but the other is pretied to the head hook and the head hook then inserted through the mouth? You could then tie the two lines together a few inches in front of the eel, cut one of the lines, and run the other to the rod line. This would allow you to get the right tension on both lines so as not to crimp the eel and create a twister. But it seems you could then tie line to both hooks outside the critter and it could go a lot faster. ??????????????????
