Do any anglers use a hook link with a loop at say 3ft. Then attach a hook link with the hook on the long hook link loop to loop.?

Exactly how I do it.I tend to use a figure of 8 loop on the hooklink ( very strong) attached to the main line via a size 8 quick change swivel and sleeve. I dare say another well tied figure of 8 would also be good. I like a quick change arrangement for the hookink and lead as I often just use the one rod and attach a bait dropper after removing lead and hooklink.

Fig8 on hook length to snap tackle on main which is tied with a palomar
This is why I use an adjusta stop instead of a swivel , your hook link is whatever length you want it be and is easily adjustable, plus your not wasting expensive hook link material , with just a short length of braid , I usually use an allbright knot instead of loop to to loop but they both work equally as well .so how long/short would the actual hook link be? would a ready tied hook link of say 18ins looped to a mainline trace of 3feet cause any problems with snagging and does this presentation spook the quarry/fish.?
