I too use swivel snaps on every thing.
I use four pound on my rods and four pound leaders for minnows, but when it comes to pan fish I go with one or two pound test to tie on my bug jigs. I do have to replace those often so it is important to tie them up before going out and put them in tiny zip lock bags and mark them with line the weight.
pre tieing snells is the only way to go, I tie mine to 6-8 inch lenths. I would like to climp my split shot on them at home too, but I never know what size my minnows are going to be from one week to the next.
