I believe the purpose of the bungee is to dampen vibrations.  I'd bet cord would work but the difference between the two type of snoods - I don't know.

When snoods were first used in crabbing, they were made from cord, they work but bungee is much better. If you have a tangle, it gives, this to me is the biggest advantage to using bungee. Baiting and unbaiting is much easier with bungee too.

I agree.

use 5/16 fuel hose.

Much easier to work with than that skinny stuff, and they never break.

How fast are you talking? Upper reaches of the pax pushes hard. Snoods with bait and crab come up at a horizontal..  Only problem in the fast water is holding bottom..
