An inturned eye, straight pointed pattern.
That is where the answers lay: Straight pointed hooks give a good hook up rate, especially considering that the hook rig is set up with an (overly) acute angeled hook.
And your snap offs are in my mind do to the excessive stress placed on your hook link as a result of the usage of a stiff line.
You have several options: Change your hook to a straight or out turned eyed pattern.
Change your hook link material to a more supple one.
Or make up your hooks like these;
