KGBass Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 Does anyone use the snap swivels anymore. Or do you just tie the lure on? Quote
Super User skunked_again Posted April 4, 2010 Super User Posted April 4, 2010 i might use one from time to time but 80% of the time i know what i want to use and stick with it so i dont have much need for them. Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted April 4, 2010 Super User Posted April 4, 2010 I always use plain snaps....without the swivels. This gives most cranks and hard baits their intended action as well as making it easier for me to switch baits. NEVER use a snap swivel! Way too much hardware. Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted April 5, 2010 Super User Posted April 5, 2010 I only use snap swivels with in-line spinners. Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted April 5, 2010 Super User Posted April 5, 2010 Once in a great while I'll use one on a jigging spoon but not very often. Quote
Super User Sam Posted April 5, 2010 Super User Posted April 5, 2010 Regular snaps to change out treble hook baits, chatterbaits and spinnerbaits baits. Makes for a fast change of baits without the time to tie a knot. Swivels on baits that twist, like Rooster Tails and grubs to help with line twist. Quote
Super User Big Bait Fishing Posted April 5, 2010 Super User Posted April 5, 2010 the only thing i use snap swivels for is connecting the swivel end to the top of a bobber and bending the snap out aways to hang from my line a little ways down from the tip , on my catfish setup , i use it as a line alarm ( to detect a bite ) while i'm fishing another rod !!!

NewKidInTown Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 Does anyone use the snap swivels anymore. Or do you just tie the lure on? Depends on what the lure is. But,,I do not use "Snap Swivels",,just a snap,and that snap is a Berkley Crosslock. Quote
gabes Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 I use Berkley Cross Lock snaps for medium to deep diving crankbaits. Easy to swith baits and they are very strong. Quote
