Crankbait snaps

Featured Replies

I almost never used snaps, with the mindset that fish would shy away from extra hardware.  The fact that fish will bite a Tokyo rig has pretty much put that idea to rest, so I think I'll be using them more in the future.  Anyone use them on non-finesse jigs?

im gonna try the small tactical angler clips for square bills and cranks, but im curious as to will this be noticeable to the fish ? everyone puts so much concern in line size and type and colors etc because of visibility etc... but a snap r clip is very noticeable... or maybe im over thinking this? but being able to change a crank bait quickly sure would be nice.

Yea, we have to try to fool the fish with an invisible line but don't worry about the giant wire hooks lol

I have always used snaps.  I am not brand loyal.  Mine have come from ebay, as well as buying Bass Pro Shop branded snaps. As long as it's the right size, I'm good.  I have never had them fail. 

 

I saw the picture above where someone put a piece of rubber/nylon banding on a spinner bait in order to use a snap.  I never thought of that!  Holy crap!  game changer.  I'd probably be more inclined to use the spinnerbait now. Hate retying!
