tie your normal paternoster rig with loops but make them small loops then tie your snelled hooks on roughly 300 mm of line and tie a loop on the tag end of that then just join the two by joing the two loops....catspaw?
,,,when I used to use bait. Strong as, caught double digit dhuies and sambos on it, never a drama. Just be sure that your leader for the snells is the same diameter/breaking strain as that of your dropper loop/main rig...if one is smaller than the other (catspaw) it can cut into it and PING goes your fish!
Thats also how I do mine as well. I believe its called a Larks head knot,a cats paw is when you make more loops through. You can make up a dozen rigs and then simply loop them on as required. Def use same size lines though or as Auslobster says "PING" !!

Loops
They can pull through, a few more twists to the loop helps as does leaving a 1-2 cm tag between where you cut the loop and the dropper loop knot.

Use slideing swivels then you can tie your snelled or single rigs to them works for me

I use a 3 way swivel with two snelled leaders running off that .

I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.
