First off, thanks to Saltheart for taking the time to put this together and to all the others that have added to it. There are great threads.

I have a question about the best way to attach the line exiting from the mouth to the running line. I've been using 80# black dacron rather than mono. It seems easier to tie the front hook after it has been fed through than with 50# flouro. I end up with about 6 inches of dacron out the front end and have been tying a loop (double surgeons knot) and attaching to my leader or to a swivel.

Question is... Is there a better way? I'm concerned that the black rope hanging from the eels mouth may be costing me strikes.
