Snap swivels

Featured Replies

Does anyone use the snap swivels anymore. Or do you just tie the lure on?

i might use one from time to time but 80% of the time i know what i want to use and stick with it so i dont have much need for them.

I always use plain snaps....without the swivels. This gives most cranks and hard baits their intended action as well as making it easier for me to switch baits.

NEVER use a snap swivel! Way too much hardware.

I only use snap swivels with in-line spinners.

Once in a great while I'll use one on a jigging spoon but not very often.

Regular snaps to change out treble hook baits,  chatterbaits and spinnerbaits baits.

Makes for a fast change of baits without the time to tie a knot.

Swivels on baits that twist, like Rooster Tails and grubs to help with line twist.  ;)

the only thing i use snap swivels for is connecting the swivel end to the top of a bobber and bending the snap out aways to hang from my line a little ways down from the tip , on my catfish setup , i use it as a line alarm ( to detect a bite ) while i'm fishing another rod !!!  ;)

Depends on what the lure is. But,,I do not use "Snap Swivels",,just a snap,and that snap is a Berkley Crosslock.

I use Berkley Cross Lock snaps for medium to deep diving crankbaits.  Easy to swith baits and they are very strong.
