Thought I'd add some "dual lock" snaps to an online order... seems there are at least a dozen brands to choose from.  Which brand "dual lock" "duo lock" snaps do you prefer and what size(s) do you use?  (If you didn't notice, I'm only interested in the traditional "dual lock/ duo lock" variety.)

VMC DLS - size 0....when I use a snap anyway.

I have always gotten them from Cabela's/BPS. Just bummed they no longer sell 100 packs.

Nishine in the 20 pack?  Why?  Because they come in the 20 pack, and they claim the #0 can handle 26#.  I have not tested it, but it passes the eye/feel test so I keep buying them. 

 

Brand doesn’t matter.  I’ve used spro, eagle claw, and at one time I had 100’s of the kvd duo locks until I left my terminal tackle in my old boat while, I was outfitting my new boat at my grandpa’s marina.  I think one of the teen age workers walked off with with my terminal box but, I can’t prove it.   Even the eagle claw duo snaps ( not their snap swivels though) will work too.  I usually use size 1 or 2 

Decoy snaps are where it’s at ! Don’t cheap out as quality does matter . Tackle warehouse is a good place to look up and read reviews

I buy mine off Aliexpress for a couple bucks for a 50 or 100 pack. Been using them for a year now and they haven't let me down.

I used Berkley Cross Lock snaps for decades.Dual Lock snaps can fail 2 ways. I now use Owner Hyper Weld Snaps, lighter and stronger

Owner hyper weld is all I will use now. I have tried them all. They "catch" less grass than any of the other ones. I fish a lot of grass with a lipless and this played a major factor for me. If you are fishing open water, any of them will work.
