I use to be a duo-loc guy for many years, then went into my stelth period and went as light and use a thin wire berkely crosslocs and another small snaps. This year after getting a bad batch of thin wire cross locs I went a little heavier and moved to SPRO bb snap swivels. But I really don't need a swivel right next to the snap. The spro snap is really strong for the size. I wish they just made the snap part alone.
Late in the season I was introduced to the breakaway snap (from slipknot)...They seem great! I really like the ease of changing plugs with those snaps. Everyone says they are pretty strong. (they look like a weak paperclip though) Next season I plan to used them a lot.
Also, for light tackle, Fisherwomen and Baitcaster gave me an Spro snap swivel that I had never seen before. It has a funny clip on a swivel. Really thin wire but amazingly strong. Great for bones and albies. I plan to get a load of those for my sub 15# test gear and use the breakaway snap for the heavy surf stuff.
Sometimes when I know I have the lure I plan on fishing with for a while and the action is slow, I will tie the floro leader direct with a loop and not use a snap at all.
