I use Snaps on bigger jigs (1 to 2 ounce) and still catch fish - definately helps with your flouro & changing jig heads etc - cant really comment if I would catch more fish if I didnt use them though.

 

[justfresh]

rory hav you tried them with light jigs ie. 1/4 , 1/8 , 3/4

I rate if you are working the lure fast there should be no problem cause the fish wont even see it. Reaction bite

I normally fish for Kob here in the EC so use big minnows - hence the large jigs - I have not had much success with smaller baits, but have tried using smaller snaps on them and didnt have any hassles (didnt catch any fish either.. ) my only concern would be the strenght of the snaps - if a big fish picks u up on a small jig with a small snap you could be in for some fun .. loosen the drag and see what happens.. a straiht knot onto the jig would probably work better?

a Snap-on-swivel is a piece of junk. Get some decent wire clips and you can pull any fish on them. They come in different sizes so you match them to your tackle.

I use mine on leadheads, Havocs, spoons, plugs etc. I have never had one open up on me. In fact your leader knot would snap long before the clip would even distort.

Aldo, you talking about these?  http://www.tackledirect.com/rosduolsnap.html

I've used them for 7 years without a single failure.  Have not found that you catch any less fish either even on 1/4 ounce leadheads.

Howzit Marshie!

Yebo, those clips are the same. Do the same job and would let you down.

Will still upload a pic once I've taken it. Tonight however would be spent keeping the family happy, so pic to follow over the weekend sometime.

 

 

[justfresh]

tried the snaps dnt really make a difference on the lure action but i have found its a mission to get them on smaller jigheads cos of the "eye" being so small ie. 1/8 1/4 3/4 its works on bigger jigs with ease
