You are testing the overall integrity of the leader now so make sure you pull from the very ends so that all of the hardware gets tested under load. I had one snap fail doing this but no knots.

How did the snap fail? Did it straighten out? I remember seeing the snaps on the leaders you brought to copia. How hard were you pulling do you think?

Sometimes I have a hard time breaking 8# test mono when I snag and often have to be almost on top of it in a solo and I know I've caught bass that somehow opened my snaps but I've never retrieved an open or broken snap.
