Brandon Palaniuk has a video where he talks about why snelling a straight shank may not be the best idea. I always felt like the "lever" action didn't seem like it would be a good thing, but he artciulated it and shows exactly what I had in mind way better than I ever could:
I tie a Palomar on both types of hooks, leave a 1/4" or more tag (because I think a lot of knots break when they slip just a bit and don't have enough tag) and, since I've started clicking the drag just a bit off from being cranked all the way down, can't remember the last bass I broke off while flipping. I like the Superline EWG for most situations, but do go with a straight shank on Elaztech stuff as it will ball up and ruin your day on an EWG. I throw 4/0 in both when flipping.
