Snell Knot for Texas Rig?

[WRB]

Bait holder hooks were developed with at turned up eye to accommodate snell knots. When you tie a snell knot it's purpose was to improve knot strength for FC line, another knot trying to overcome poor knot strength with FC. The fact the exits a straight or flat eye hook  at 45 degree angle only add more stress to the line and defeats the reason of having a turned eye that solved that problem decades ago.

Today's anglers tend to ignor the oblivious. When a bass engulfs your hook it crunches down very hard to kill the critter before deciding to continue eating it, the hook rolls sideways and is flattened inside the mouth. The wider the hook gape the more it cams overr sideways and the big reason EWG hooks miss so many hook sets. Snell knots do not resovle hooks rolling over, the only weaken the line at the hook eye exit.
