Use a locking snap from Do It Molds , has no swivel, clean and fast light weight also !
The older I get the harder and longer it takes me to tie a knot. I tie the snap swivel on with an improved clinch knot and it has worked for me.

To be honest with you, I hadn't realized exactly what you were referring to, as a snaplink, until I just googled it... If I were wanting to attach braided line to a snaplink y be capable of swapping out the link, sans bothering with tying knots over'n over'n over; I'd learn how to put a small bowline at either the end of my mainline, or on the connecting end, of each "rig". ... Just the way I'm pretty sure, that I'd go about it. That bowline gives you a loop that ain't goin' nowhere, if you cinch it up, good'n tight. (Ya kinda need 3 hands, so, with small stuff like that, I use a nail in (whatever... doorframe, edge of a table, arm of the chair)... Wherever the wife ain't gonna start shooting at ya, for driving a nail. Either that, or a "hookscrew"... You know; the kind some folks hang coffee cups on. I'd put the loop itself, on the nail y use both hands separately, to tighten that rascal up, proper. If I'm making a big enough loop, on large enough line, I'll use a big toe, or my whole foot, rather than a nail.
palomar and trilene are the only knots that I use

Don't think it would stay put when using super braid. I think it would snake loose in my humble opinion.

Honesty, I've got absolutely 0% experience/ "super braid"... So... I really can't say, one way or another, about that particular material. Reckon experimenting on the hill would be advisable.

Agree with you Kerry. Made my mistakes when I first switched to braid and didn’t talk to anyone about knots. Palomar and Uni now.
