No Knot Quick Snaps

Saw these at Cabelas  an was wondering if they would be as good as a regular snap ? Thanks .

I have lost more lures because of various snaps through the years so I prefer a direct tie with bass gear.

The only time I use snaps or swivels is with my panfish gear.

I'm not familiar with the no-knot snaps, but I use normal snaps (no swivel) for most of my hard bait fishing.  I tie directly to the hook when working soft plastics, but crankbaits, jigs, spoons, spinner baits, etc. usually get the snap treatment.

And they've never lost me a fish.

I use the regular ones for stuff like cranks/swimbaits/spinners/jigs/pretty much everything I can. Obviously not t-rigs. And sometimes when I'm feeling especially lazy I will even do it for weightless plastics and haven't noticed any difference in productivity. And I have never lost a fish due to a snap either.

a new snap won't lose fish. I use them on my cranks and stuff like that, obviously not on my flippin/pitchin stick. But I've never lost fish with them on a crank, and they give (if you have super vision haha) better action to the cranks. Just make sure they are not beat up, getting straightened out or the lame ones.

I tried the No Knot Quick Snaps for a whole year. I said they enabled the baits to swim better and were so much more unobtrusive than regular sized snaps or swivels. But, to be honest, I really just liked the convenience of not having to un-snap a regular snap. I ended up losing a bunch of baits with them though.

I use braid most of the time and when you make a bad cast or foul your line in one way or another, whatever's on the end of it stops moving real fast. If the open part of the No Knot Snap is lined up just right with the bait eye, it goes sailing right off. I decided they weren't for me. I think only one ever broke. They are sturdy for being so small. But still not worth it; in my opinion. I tie everything direct to my line now.

I didn't lose any fish because of the snap, but I caught alot more fish without them. I tie direct, and use a loop knot if I want more action, a uni-knot if I want a tighter wobble.

Hey thanks for all the info it was a big help

I've been using the Netcraft brand for many years. But I use them when I pre-tie my drop shot leaders and store them on the velcro tubes (also sold by Netcraft). Then, if my leader becomes frayed, or I've caught more than 3 bass on one, I just unwind a new leader from the tube and snap it on the swivel of my main line. Back in business in seconds vs. having to re-tie.

Have never lost a bass because of it.
