split ring/snap swivel

[kevf]

What's the best method for quick changing of spoons/plugs etc? swivel with a split ring on the leader, a swivel on the leader and split rings on each lure or snap swivels? I'd imagine that direct onto the leader is something that isn't done as often?

Personally I use a swivel attached to a small QUALITY split ring. Good quality snap swivels in small sizes are difficult to find and pretty expensive

People use other swivels

The only other type you could use is a ball bearing but those are very pricey

hi KevF,
I use a snap clip with no swivel,I been doing that way for years and I have never lost a fish. However when spoon for Snoek use a split ring to reduce the chance of a bubble trail.


I hope this helps KevF.


14kg Garrick landed using a snap clip to attach plug.

I used centro swivels as far as possible, and will go to power swivels as a second choice.

I use a locally made Clip , made by Predator plugs . They are very popular and sometimes very scarce. I will post a pic some time of them .
Save loads of leaders and time . I only use them on plugs and sometimes spoons , but never on lipped lures or Dropshots/plastics .


For offshore shore its a whole other story/Thread really .
