Thread: quick snap swivels

I pretie my rigs with a barrel swivel at the top and use a snap swivel on the main line. Makes changes a little quicker.

Amazingly, 95% of this I have to break off break between the weight and the barrel swivel. Haven’t noticed anything negative on the setup.

Wannabe..

I had not used them for trolling. I have used then for shooting docks. I had some of the smallest I could find. I had one straighten out on a big catfish. I got it to the side of the boat and on it's last run it pulled loose. I was using braid otherwise it would have broken the line limg before straightening the quick clip

like them a lot . Make sure you get the stainless in a size large . Brand called fast-knot . Bought 500 8 yrs. ago still have some . Some one named jerry from Arkansas I believe . will come to me later . Already has meat getter jigs .

I use #12 snap swivels on all of my long lines pulling crank baits and jigs

this is what i am referring to. slow trolling. quick change out of jigs, hooks, gnats. i see several devices for this and was wondering if there was ever a problem with them......hooks coming off unintended, affecting motion of the bait, etc.

I tried the FastKnot style, a C shape, and didn’t care for it. They make corkscrew types and I prefer those. They are far more secure and strong. The trick is to get small ones and get good at undoing and redoing jigs without the glasses. I hold the clip in my left hand, jig in right, and I know I rotate the jig towards me to undo, and away from me to attach. They will hold big fish no problem and add very little to the presentation.

For spider rigging I use a locking snap swivel on my main line which is 10 lb. hi-viz mono. I tie my own double hook rigs with a 3 way swivel at the top and use 6 lb. mono for the rigs. May not work for everyone but works good for me.
