What Sz Snaps To Order?

Featured Replies

I'm placing a TW order and only know Snaps by looking at them not sure what number sz to order for 1/2, 1/4oz and 1.5 square bills? I also don't like the Mustad ones I have and want to try the VMC's which would be there 1, 2 or 3 sz or the Molix Hyper snap in their 2, 3 or 4? I'm aware of the Owner Hyper Snaps but like the other two better. If anyone has good or bad experiences w the VMC or Molix let me know, thanks.

I have not used those particular clips, but keep in mind the size of the bait and where the eye is.  The closer the bait eye is to "v", where the bill meets the bait, the smaller the clip needed.....if that makes sense.

 

I have some decoys and pline on the way....I have also used speed clip, which can be a pain 

, given these old eyes.

I use size #1 for jerkbaits & size #2 for crankbaits & swimbaits.

I would recommend PLine Technical snap in size 1 or 2.

Most times I use #1 for lmb.

The larger size #3 gets use in my saltwater fishing.

At TW it says "split ring size", does that mean these are pefered with split rings?

I use the same ones for my cranks that I do for making my chatterbaits and silver buddy's...

They are 25lb rated snaps. Never had an issue with them
