tater,
Improve clinch is what i have always used but if your not wetting the knot/line when tightening it it will burnish and weaken the knot. My guess is that if snapping off that easy with the improved Clinch then your not wetting the line. It also helps to leave the loop open some to increase the flies action and serve is a bit of a shock absorber... that will also help in reducing snap off's at the knot.
