I like snells on hooks that I want to stand straight in line with the leader. IMO, I see no practical benefit of snelling a hook onto a 40-50# leader for eeling. I'm not against them, but most reasonably strong knots will work since the weak link is generally the running line to swivel connection. FWIW, I use orvis knots. They're quick, stong and only use about an inch of leader for every retie.

Best regards,
Roger
