I use the slider most of the time. I've often thought exactly what you are describing. I've lost some nice fish because of a busted leader (50lb) but i'm not sure if it was on the slider or not. It just makes sense that the slider hook would shear off the leader. I just like having the second bait down there because I'm a hack.

Yes I agree. When I brought my rig up and saw that it had a slight kink and was cut off clean, I asked the captain what could have happened. He knew right away. In Maryland they deal with very large fish so he knows what he is talking about! Plus with the snafu it is easier to hook whole baits.
