If all the clips, beads etc is getting you down - granted they do allow for excellent rigs and bait presentation at distance - simply tie blood loops into the main trace line. Provided you are using a relatively light line (under 20 lbs), you can then slip the loop into the hook eye and over the shank, leaving you with very short tangle free snoods with hook attached.
With practice you can even position a hook into the line as you tie the blood loop and thereby generate a pennel rig... but that is tricky.
Make sure the loops are sufficiently far apart that the fully baited hooks can not "interact".
The loops can be tied as long or as short as you want. My preference is to keep them short to aid bite detection, and I usually use this system for relatively short casts.
For longer distance work you need to look at the impact shields, clips, beads etc.
FWIW...
