Lures you would use a snap with?

I use the Norman Speed Clips on all my squarebills, lipless, jerkbaits, swim jigs, and bladed swimjigs.  I started using them mainly in my kayak when I’d have a couple rods and eventually use all the time now.

this is what I use also.

Treble lures. I like to use snaps on my medium combos because they're almost always for trebles. A snap makes the action of most topwaters better. Use a good quality safety pin type snap. I see some people like the speed clip. I lost a really nice bass on one once and haven't used them since.

Dont use the snap swivel with spinnerbaits if the wire isn’t closed if you understand what im saying. I dont use snap swivels because it might distract the fish or have it not bite for some reason. It takes a min to tie a polomar

Any hard bait that comes with a split ring usually gets a Duo-Loc snap.  I remove the split ring.  I keep a pretty big supply of #2 and #3 snaps on hand, and many of my baits already have on on them.  Some baits, like spoons, I add swivel to the split ring you tie to.  I usually tie direct to the swivel, but if I'm switching baits frequently, I'll use a snap.  I've never had an issue, and I seem to catch them, so I don't think the fish care.  I've only ever notice a snap open once, and I'm pretty sure I didn't clasp it correctly.  I never use snap swivels.

I agree with what you're saying regarding spinnerbaits with the open wire.  But to be clear, he's referring to just snaps, not snap swivels.

All crankbaits, some topwaters, and chatterbaits.  If you don't use them out of worry that the fish will notice them, what do you think about treble hooks that are 4x the size of the snap?

The only reason I don't use them on non treble hook baits is that I fish a lot of vegetation and the snap is just another thing to snag the slop...lol

No doubt - I never use them for anything that would be on bottom, or on a jig head of any kind, for that reason.

Im not worried about fish seeing them, its just one more thing i dont want to buy. Im good at tying knots and biting through line

I use Decoy snaps on hard swim/glide baits and large cranks.

In stained water, I will use them on all hardbaits. I never use them on spinnerbaits, Jigs, Chatterbaits, or soft plastics......I also fish the speed traps which come with snaps, great little crankbait, it's one of the only crankbaits I wish came with better hooks. Usually I am happy with most stock hooks on lures.

 

I have used snaps on texas rigged swimbaits and flukes simply cause its convenient, and can't say it has helped or hurt. Gives the bait the same action as tying a loop knot, also creates a slight rattle. Snaps are personal preference, confidence thing. I used to be completely opposed to snaps until the last decade...I have watched plenty of people better than me have success with them, so I have evolved. It makes it easier to change out lures, colors etc....Not sure that is a plus, but it makes it easier than tying a knot.

I have been using the Norman clips with hard baits on the boat.  I find that my red eye shads will foul up if I yo yo retrieve too violently though.  I have to be real careful to not let the line get slack while the bait is dropping.  I think the clips are causing this, but so far I just account for it and it's not a big deal.  It's a good trade off for being able to switch bait sizes or colors.

 

Bank fishing, I'm usually not trying as many different baits like I would on the boat because in the boat I have most all techniques covered with their own combo.  So I just tie when bank fishing.
