I can cast a mile with an eight foot leader with plugs and it does kind of suck for eels because of their weight but I make it happen. My leaders are always getting cut down so they don't stay 8ft for long.
The biggest things I've found is to make sure the knot has very little tail, even a little tail will f everything up, also use glue. Before I tie the leader to the main line I tie an old hook on one end, cut my desired length, set the hook into a fixed object and then using my body weight I gently stretch the floro so it is straight. That helps a LOT.
I know this isn't the "right" way, and I wouldn't suggest it to anyone, it's just the way I do it and it works for me.
