I've used the No-knot for larger wet flies (12s, 8s, etc) and had good luck. For the smaller hook sizes and for dry flies, it seems that its a real pain to get the little buggers to let go of the fly, and if I use a NK large enough to handle conveniently, the fly often sits cocked on the surface or head-down. Great idea, but they have their limits....

Consider an eye threader tool.... Ive got a box of them from back when we used to sell orvis equipment. you just clip the fly to this small device and run the line down the chute. If your interested in the name of it il dig one up but i would NEVER use a swivel device for fly fishing unless fishing saltwater or something BIG.

I know this is an old thread but I thought I would add my opinion. I started using the Kipper No Knot Fas-Snaps this winter for crappie flies and jigs. I absolutely love them. I don't think they have any negative impact on the action of the lure. Also, I can make quick easy changes while fishing without needed my reading glasses. I highly recommend them.

i think they are fine.i personally do not use them but know people who love them.easy to change flies i am sure.maybe might impart a liitle more action on the fly like a loop knot does.there are days when my older construction worker fingers have a hard time with knots.i would never try one on a surface fly but they might be good for streamers nymphs and micro fly jigsOriginally Posted by Sky Pilot

Have used the stainless ones with success on fly rod for gills and single pole jigging for crappie .

I use them too and they work well for me with gills and crappie. Stainless steel and no fails yet. When I fished for channel cats in my pond, it was the only way to go
with the fly rod. Had to wear them down to land them, but the fight was great on a 5 wt.
