    Default Snap Swivel???


    HI Folks -- this might be an untouchable topic, but here it goes


    Ive been using snap swivels to give myself ease of changing bait, some have suggested that maybe I need to avoid them -- I did try without for a while on Monday, so I would like you guys input -- I use jigs, spinners and some plugs


    Thanks

    I use #10 snap swivels on my trolling crankbaits but strictly to help prevent line twist. Everything else I use knots tied directly to the baits.

    Plenty of "how to" videos out there, but simply put :

    run line thru eye about 1ft
    pinch tag end to main line
    loop the doubled line around finger
    pass bait thru that loop 3 times
    pinch knot lightly and pull doubled line tight until knot tightens

    (Just do step #2 three times, rather than the one time shown in this pic):

    Yes,... tiny ones, no swivel, just the snap, they're great for trying out different kinds of lures.

    I use snap #00 but without swivel with pretty good success with jig both casting and under bobbers. I also use the same snap with trout magnet as well.
    Picture is trimmed crappie magnet on 1 gram jig head #6 hook for bluegill.
