Why are you "snapping off" the lures in the first place ? Did the bail close on the reel during the cast ? Did the shock leader knot get caught in the guide ? Did the line rub against the spool ? Did you crack a guide or get a burr on a guide ? Bad knot, Bad snaps or hardware ?

Seems like every one snaps off a lure sooner or later, why did your lure snap off ?
What are you doing to reduce or eliminate "lure snap off" ?
