Rigged eels & rubber eels, Slug-gos, etc.

Looking at old rigged rubber I see many had hooks up as if you were rigging a live eel but see now that many rig hooks down.

Anyone have any thoughts as to how this effects ballast of the bait, hook up ability, how and where the bass gets hooked, how this effects how to play the fish ,and if the bass can rub or use rocks etc. to cut himself free more easily with the two different hook placements?

Hope this isn`t a too all over the place question.

Thanks,
Mike
