Snell or Palomar

I don't chunk. My eel hooks just get put on a breakaway clip

I don't think I could trust the hookset having my hook on a clip?
I can snell a hook without using the eye hole at all, I guess I am curious which is a stronger knot. I have always heard the palomar is a stronger knot, but never had an issue with a snell.

There is a certain spot I plan on chunking the hell out of this year, and getting ready to tie leaders.

i once had a Palomar knot fail me
somehow it unraveled

not sure if i tied it wrong from fatigue or what

but now after tying a Palomar
i back it up with a clinch knot

this makes the "tag end" stick straight out
and its easier to clip off
plus it's allot harder to clip the wrong line
