Not knowing all the circumstances involved to answer this question or give sound advice . I would need to know a few things like:

How old is the leader line.

Are you tieing directly to the botton swivel of the dipsy,or swivels on both ends of the leader or a swivel on one end and a snap on the other end .

Were you baits in tune or fouled

Were you dragging a whitebass or white perch .

As for snubbers ,the only time I will use them is when we are targeting steel head . I run braided main line and 30# leader a snap swivel on the lure end and a snap on the dipsy end (to the dipsy swivel ).

I find that the main problem is leader twist and this is caused by fouled baits ,dragging a small fish or poor quality swivels or leader .
