Dipsy setup help

Thanks Sharm,
Yeah I need to figure out why the lines are breaking. Now that I finally have the drivers working for me this is a new problem. I did notice the crew I was fishing with was setting the hook harder then needed. Could of been breaking then, but the last break we had was before anyone got to the pole.
Last break we had I turned around to see driver #1 bent hard in half, told my son to get it and before he could get there it had broken right at the rear driver swivel.
I see two different snubbers, one with outer tube with braid backup inside and solid silicone one. Have use ever used either of these?

yea I have used both the solid snubber and the ones with braided line in the center. I think I like the ones with the braid in the center the best. but they both work and would just be a personal preference.

I found some on ebay that's made up with surgical tubing and then braid in them. I used these this year up on the central basin and they really worked great for us.

setting the hook to hard with a big fish will break 15 lb line pretty easy without a snubber. we had the same problem using 15 lb vanish line. switched to the 20 lb seaguar and added snubbers and that cured our problems. good luck.
