Whats the perfect size speed clips for 1/2oz RES and XRK50s? What sized for 5xd and 6xds do u use? Thanks.

I think this is what you are talking about., if not disregard. I've had good luck with these in the 33lb. They are fairly small too.

If you are referring to Norman's Speed Clips, they are only made in 2 sizes. The smaller size would work with cranks. Just not sure what you mean, specifically. Got a pic?

I use the small size Norman Speed Clips on all crankbaits.  Man, Ben!  Those Owner clips are super pricey!

I ended up buying a pack of Eagle Claw Dual Lock Snaps size one. I'm tired of wasting line tying and retying cranks and whatnot so I figured I would give these a try. I'm assuming it's better to remove the existing split ring on the cranks to not mess with the action correct?

I just clip mine to the split ring and haven't noticed any changes in the action. I never really thought about it though, maybe someone will have more insight on the matter.

I also use the small Norman Speed clip's as Bob.

They're not the easiest to use if you have fat fingers or if your fingers are froze, but I think they work the best for fast changes, and do not alter the action.

I also use the small Norman speed clips for cranks. I will tell you that I will not use them on spinnerbaits, as I lost 3 spinnerbaits in one day. What happens is the wire of the spinnerbait rides on the speed clip and the spinnerbait slips out. As I was casting I felt the line go so far and my spinnerbait kept on going. It happened to me several times that day with different spinnerbaits and I won't use them for that anymore. Never had a problem with crankbaits though.
