Default Re: slider rig vs. snafu

My thought on this and I'm no expert by any means. I like the thought of the snafu rig but just as easily the line could break at the knot where the 2 hooks are joined as easily as the slider kink theory. I like the bait presentation Idea of the snafu better than slider. The one thing I do however think that may give the slider has over the snafu for a novice like myself. Is when you swing at a scratchy bite you have two hooks in very close proximaty that may allow you to catch the fish under lip etc . If your a real sharpie you can catch fish on anything. But when you learning the bite and when to swing 2 baits are better than one either way snafu or slider. I did break off a real slob Friday on the OE lifted out twice but the third time gone I noticed half way up my hook leader line with slightly pig tailed. Maybe it was as you said hooked on the slider hook and up and down during the bounce chaffed through the hook leader. But all I know is it was depressing after it broke. Tight lines all good conversation. Hoping to get more input from the sharpies here.
