    Default Snap Swivels For Crankbaits


    Hi All, Been noticing some folks using snap swivels on the crankbaits. Any +'s or -'s to using them. What size and color do you recommend if you do use them. Pulling mostly Bandit 300's. Thanks

    I'm using the fast-lock snaps without the barrel swivel now. I had a brand new barrel swivel break costing me a crankbait a couple of weeks ago. There's usually enough friction resistance to a fish to make the line twist before the barrel will turn anyway in my experience.

    Thanks - I'll give it a try. Do you use the snaps to make I easier to change out the baits or does it add more action to the baits?
