Couple suggestions/questions

How old is the leader material?

Did you wet the knot down good before tightening it?

I would go with a regular clinch knot versus an improved clinch on mono heavier than 25# test.
50# mono tightens down much better with a normal clinch versus the improved. I like to use 6 or 7 turns and then dunk the whole thing in water before I tighten it down.

For hooks, I snell directly to the hook and use gami 6/0 octopus hooks with offset eyes if I'm eel fishing.
