I'm interested to see if anyone uses a snell knot with fluoro for flipping soft plastics. If so, which style of snell knot?
From what I've read it keeps your weight centered more and improves hook sets but I'm concerned about the line free floating through the eye and fraying.

I use the LFT knot. Mark Pack has a great instructional video on YouTube on how to tie it.
You know the old saying
If it floats, flys, or f___s it is always cheaper to rent!
You have to decide which is more important.

The snell knot is nice because it the main line comes out the same way as the hook point, it acts sorts as a holder for it so it wont slip down the shaft

I've read the San Diego Jam Knot is best for flouro.
