Snap swivels or not

[Koos Bass]

Hi, i am rather new to Bassisng (or not that new, but not so successful) only a couple of months to my name and also only a couple of fish to my name.

 I am using these clip-on swivels to chane my lures without having to tie the line each time. Does that cause any problems with lure action.

Can anyone help, please ??

Thanks

i would imagine that it definately drops your your catch rate, and might possibly affect the swimming action of your smaller lures....

I prefer not to use Swivel Snaps.
I use a thing called a Crank Clip made by Norman - have pulled some pretty big barbel with them so they are cery strong - they have no impact on action of lure unless the lure is very small

Hi Ryan

Where do you get these clips???

Please post a picture of one if you get a chance!

 

[Ryan]

Andre they are really small to photograph.

In your area XFS are the importers of the goods...

Hope this helps.

I get mine from Rod & Marine in Pretoria

Thanx Ryan... will have a lookout for them, and contact XFS!

Is this the clips you were referring to:

I got some a while ago from Crow's bass tackle near Inanda

I also use the Norman speed clips on my cranks.
