I don't use snaps on my spinnerbaits. I believe they negatively affect the action and natural appearance of the lure. I have had some issues with the line getting out of place on the lure, too. But never an issue with the line damage. The biggest con, for me, I've had in the past the Bass hitting the lure so hard the lure is mangled and damaged to a point of no more use. Those thin wires don't always hold up. Don't use it now as much as I did years ago. Still, it's a fine spinnerbait. Hank Parker preferred the Indiana blade in gold. Good Fishing

I like the icon Hank Parker but: He's Old School. Me too and I don't believe using FFS is true Bass fishing setting aside all emotions. But I do believe it's here to stay and if I were competing in a professional tournament, I'd use it. "When in Rome do as the Romans do". Good Fishing
