Fast and easy way to change jigs

[Chris in Ct]

If your like me you start your day Crappie fishing with the color jigs you have the most confidence in. Somedays this is all you need and then there are those days when they can be so picky what they want to hit you change colors and type jigs a dozen times before you stumble apon that magic lure of the day.For me the worst part has always been cutting and retying different lures on till I found the magic one. I discovered these snap hooks at Netcraft last year and they have solved this problem once and for all. Now changing jigs is a snap(pun intended). No cutting and retying just pull one jig off and snap a new one on. Simple as can be. They are very small in size and I can't say the fish notice them. I also believe because you are not tying directly to the hook that the lure has a little more action due to the play between the hook and the snap. If you do decide to give them a try make sure to order size1. The other sizes are to small for Crappie fishing use. I have no affiliation with this product/Netcraft in anyway. Just passing on a little tip that might make your time on the water a bit more enjoyable and productive like this little snap has done for me. Here is the link for you inspection. Good Luck http://www.jannsnetcraft.com/line-le...ts/810960.aspx

Thanks for the link Chris.
We have guys that fly fish on crappie.com also so they may be able to use the smaller connector.

I have seen something similar to these in the past and even have a few but have not really tried them much. I guess I forget they were in the tackle box and just tied the jigs to my line with the loop knot or a palomar knot.

I need to try a different brand of these I guess. I have some small ones from the Grizzly Jig Shop and tried them for some 1/124 th oz. jigs I use for chasing gills. Now a 1/124 th oz has a tiny hook and I use them IN brush piles. I like them because I can straighten the hook with a tug. The first time I used the snap it straightened out far too easy for me.
I'm happy to hear the larger ones work out for crappie jigs. :D I'll definately be giving them another try. Thanks, Mike
