Does it matter which end of the leader you put the snubber? Attach the snubber to the diver or to the body bait?
Attach the snubber to the diver with a 6-10 foot leader to the body bait. The snubber will mess up the action of the lure if you put it at the bait end. You can use a fishing scale to adjust the release tension; about 3 lbs is a good starting point. You don't have to adjust the screw very much to make a big difference.
