Snaps Or Swivels

Featured Replies

Does anyone use snaps or swivels for their set ups? I was looking at norman speed clips and the eagle claw snaps but if anyone uses these or others let me know how they are. Thanks

I rarely ever use snaps, just something else to catch weeds. I'll use ball-bearing swivels on some lures such as spoons to help prevent line twist.

I use snaps on crankbaits but that's the extent of it. Only reason is I'm typically changing them out until I find the right size and color.

I used to use snap-swivels when I was a little kid and only had a few rods. I tie everything direct now. 

I use Normans on a few things and never had a problem.

I use a simple snap on cranks only. Everything else is tied directly.

I use Norman speed clips on my crank rod only.

If you have fat fingers you'll find a small pair of needle nose pliers will come in handy.

I'm with some of the others here. I use snaps on my CB rod.

I use swivels on in-line spinners some.  I use snaps on bigger heavy baits for musky/rockfish - mostly because I change lures frequently.
