Just put an oversized split ring on the nose of the plug and tie onto it. Make sure you tie onto the section where there is only one strand of wire showing. If you tie over the doubled up section of wire, the knot may fail. As far as snaps go, you can keep them. They don't deter strikes, but they will all open under the right circumstances. A split ring will never open when used on the nose of a lure provided its sized correctly. You do need to make sure the split ring is not too big in diameter either as it may impede the action of a swimming plug if it rubs against the lure eye.
