I envy you prepared guys, with the exception of crimped stuff, I'm of the frantic tie em when you get there club, that being said, I've never had a palomar or uni to uni fail/backoff on me, and with the cost of floro, I don't change them till they're frayed or to short.

Me three, except for the super glue
Got an eye-hook on my workbench in the tackle room...and fight the urge to snug up the improved clinch by tugging on the tag end with needlenose
Not using a glove though...hey, not that there's anything wrong with that...  |
"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

I woul also check the snap to see if the edge of the eye has any rough edges.
I had a line snap at the swivel, and when I checked the swivel I could feel the sharp edge, probably caused by clipping the old mono off with nippers. In a case like that I just replace the swivel as well.
Once I've tied a good knot (palomar or modified cinch), usually the only thing that can break it off is me when I change it due to the middle section of mono being frayed.
