Never used snelled hooks and have not lost too many fish using ganged tarpons, IMO keep your rigs simple , the more knots equals more chances of things stuffing up
A friend and fellow member was snapping off snells while fighting fish regularly until i showed him how i tie them and since changing i believe he hasn't had a problem. Maybe look at another method of tying snells?

Lubricate
make sure you libricate (spit) when you tighten the knot. Friction (heat) kills the line.
