Nah, i think it's far fetched that it causes fewer strikes. especially with pike and in the stained waters of the passaic. I was catching bass and panfish in the raritan river with the same leaders too.

Big importance on the snaps tho like you stated, I havent lost any fish yet due to it but I always make sure they're tight with a set of pliers.
