The line seems to come off at a funny angle, but I couldn't say the hookup rate suffers because of it. The biggest reason I snell is because I feel it is the stongest link between hero and fish. I used to fish mono a lot and would just snell the hook directly to the 25#BG line.Never had a snell knot fail, ever.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
