Jcj90 Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 Does a duo lock negatively impact the action of a floating a original rapala? I hate tying the rapala knot and was going to try a small duo lock Quote
Shimano_1 Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 In my experience no. I use snaps on everything with trembles and have for many many years 1 Quote
throttleplate Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 100% vmc touch-loks for me on cranks, topwater. https://www.fishusa.com/VMC-Touch-Lok-Snaps Quote
Super User WRB Posted February 28, 2021 Super User Posted February 28, 2021 I always tied directly to Rapala with a improved clinch knot in the 50’-60’s with 6 lb mono. Gate loop knots! Tom Quote
Super User Deleted account Posted February 28, 2021 Super User Posted February 28, 2021 Should be ok as long as it is sized accordingly. I use split rings on the #9 and bigger ones. The smaller ones I tie a uni and leave it with a small loop. This is for the Finnish ones, the Emerald Isle and Eastern European ones don't know, cause i don't use. Quote

Super User Bankbeater Posted March 1, 2021 Super User Posted March 1, 2021 No, I use a snap on the larger baits. On the smaller baits I tie direct. Quote
waymont Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 They work great with the correct size snap. Stay away from the standard VMC duo-lock snap. they open up in the smaller size very easily. Touch locks are good though. Quote
Super User islandbass Posted March 1, 2021 Super User Posted March 1, 2021 Not in my experience as long as it is an appropriate size. They can also be used on Zara spooks to make them easier to “walk.” Quote
