To snap, or not to snap?

Toby...

When using a snap to connect the leader to the main line, I've actually used larger snaps and threw on a teaser and clamped her down tighter, never had a problem landing fish with large snaps......
But - For some reason I attract too many bluefish up this way..and if you look at it from a different light....meaning your plug chasing this small object a few feet infront of it (the snap), the bigger that object the more attention it will draw...if you find yourself in a school of Bloooos, and I've seen this while bridge fishing (aerial view - you learn alot)...the bloo's get attracted to the snap if there's already a blooo on the plug, guess where they're hitting next.... I've switched to breakaways myself...for the better part anyway. When fish are on the feed, they'll hit anything. I wouldn't worry about size...I'd worry about sharp teeth on the leader - my opinion.
