I make my breakaways using 30 and 40 lb test depending on who heavy a rig I am using.

Take your heavy main leader with the hook and where you would put a loop where the sinker would go make a small loop and add a small snap swivel. While you are at home and nice and warm, make up a bunch of sinkers that have a lighter lb. test leader on them with a loop that you can attach to the snap swivel..No tying at all when your hands are ice cold.
Now are we sure that it is always the sinker that is the one that gets hung up? Could it be the hook or hooks that you guys are using..
Richie,Design a sinker that won't get hung up.
