What is the best way to tie on a Sammy as far as action goes.

1) Tie right to the tie-on

2) Put on a split ring than tie on

3) Throw on a snap and tie on.

Forgive the dumb question but I'm just trying to get as much info on my new lures as possible. Thanks.

I think that it is based on personal preference. I like to tie directally to the tie so you can control its action better, but then again thats just me. And I dont use snaps, so no help there, sorry.

Split rings are often added to the nose of walking baits to give them enhanced action. I have found it necessary on certain lures but not with my Sammy 100's. I have been perfectly happy with the action I achieve with the lure without the split ring and have had my success to show it. Try it both ways and see which you like more

It is not necessary to modify each and every bait on the market.  In MOST circumstances, if a bait worked better with a splitring, they would have put one on.  If a snap made it work better, they would at least suggest it.  We all make things way to hard sometimes.

Try tying with a loop knot.  I've noticed an increased glide on walking baits and jerk baits.

Thanks men.

I use this knot for all my walking baits

Last question on the Sammy.....

Getting some #4 Owner feathered trebles for a couple of baits. Do you guys think it would kill the action of the Sammy? Would it help throwing that on the back of a walk the dog bait?

No, it won't kill the action and yes sometimes it helps.

I have feathered trebles on some of my topwaters, incl. sammy's.
