Gamec0cks5 Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 I wanna get some snaps to have for my crank baits and other treble hooks baits. What is a good brand I obviously want to get some good ones so I don't loose any $8-$9 baits. Berkley Crosslocks were the only thing that came up in my search whats some other ones? I am gonna be making a *** order here soon Quote
Primus Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 I've never lost a fish so far due to snap failure, however this year I'm trying some saltwater grade snaps that I picked up from BPS for a little extra reasurance. Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted April 10, 2010 Super User Posted April 10, 2010 Luhr Jensen Duo-Lock Snaps Price: 1.99 The Luhr Jensen Duo Lock Snap is ideal when a quick bait change is needed. The Duo Lock Snap also has a much larger hanging area than most other snaps which will allow the bait to swing freely for a natural presentation. 12 pack These are very good quality. The 30lb one is plenty. Product Name Price In Stock Qty Luhr Jensen Duo-Lock Snap 30lb 1.99 04/22 Luhr Jensen Duo-Lock Snap 40lb 1.99 4+ Luhr Jensen Duo-Lock Snap 45lb 1.99 04/11 Luhr Jensen Duo-Lock Snap 65lb 1.99 4+ Luhr Jensen Duo-Lock Snap 85lb 1.99 4+ Enter the quantities you'd like to order and click here ==> Quote

TimJ Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 I only use crossloks in sizes 1 and 3. Never had one break. The theory is that they tighten themselves as pressure is applied and it seems right. Also, no outward wire to grab weeds as in some other types of snaps. TJ Quote
Super User CWB Posted April 10, 2010 Super User Posted April 10, 2010 I use Rosco Duolock snaps in black which are made by Sampo. http://www.tackledirect.com/rosduolsnap.html Size 51 and 52 depending on bait and line test. Never had one fail. Quote
Stringjam Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Stick with the CrossLocks......they are a far more secure design than any duo-lock. Berkley makes a good one. Owner makes the strongest one I've ever used, but it's hard on the fingers. The other good thing about the cross-locks is that you can use a small enough snap to match up well with lightweight balsa cranks, and still retain the strength. I can pull apart duo-locks of similar size simply pulling the knot on 12 lb. CXX. Quote
Super User Big Bait Fishing Posted April 11, 2010 Super User Posted April 11, 2010 another option is Norman speed clips , i use the magnum ones ( for big swimbaits ) but here the smaller ones are good too . i have also used Berkley cross locks are good too but are a pain in the * to open !!!! ;D Quote
