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
can you tell me where I can find more info on this single hook rig?
Slim, just rig it following any method you know and leave off the tail hook. I just fish dead eels like live ones, one hook under the jaw and out an eye socket. You might need bigger rubbercore sinkers because the dead eels don't swim down to the bottom like live ones.
