Wire dipseys... To run Snubbers or not run snubbers that is the question

It is a lot easier releasing the diver when there is no stretch in the line ahead of it

The only advantage would be you have two more knots that can break!

Bottom line IMO , as previously posted proper set of the DRAG is the bottom line ! Lost too many fish with snubbers !

Run one side with snubber... run the other without...... then make your own decisions..[emoji106]

I realize this is an old topic on running dipseys, but I  would like your opinions on the following.  is there any advantage or experienced knowledge of an advantage to running a length of fluorocarbon 40 to 50 lb ahead of your diver between the diver and the wire line. 

This would eliminate the "pigtail effect" of the wire line in the last 8 - 10 feet,  and the potential for kinks in the wire due to it.

I've thought about trying this, but the extra knots/swivel has scared me off.
