I do remember something about the rigged eels having the potential of hanging up on the bottom because of the hooks, hey here's an idea try rigging them with the hooks up using a hook with a weighted shank

I guess if the only thing that you are setting your hook into all season is 50lbers and up and you are worried about drowning all of those huge fish it would make sense to use the heavy rigging that you described....must be rough on the smaller fish that most folks are catching more regularly though.....is that 60-80 lb braid or mono?
pros and cons of various eel rigging methods might have made a good discussion...I got quite a bit out of Dave Anderson's eel rigging discussion last year...but still like a single hook
