If you loose the hooklink then clearly it is the hook that has snagged not feeder.So perhaps shorten hooklink or somehow stop it wafting/moving, bait change...
Above info all works for sure but best solution is make your own feeders.
Literally can be...
Get a "thingy" to take twist out of the braid, use a few times before each session.
Get another "thingy" to slide down the line if you get snagged on a river,changes angle of pull,works remarkable well.
