SirCranksalot Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Anybody try these. Would seem to be useful for steelhead, for e.g, in changing from roe bag to worm. Also would work as well as a normal snap when fishing with spoons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Field Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Anybody try these. Would seem to be useful for steelhead, for e.g, in changing from roe bag to worm.

Whenever I have tried these with spoons I usually loose the spoon, but I buy the smallest size and perhaps the larger size will work for spoons.

cheaptackle Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 I've used them for lead jigs successfully. They're also the standard for stinger hook attachment. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyb Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Yep...have used them under the ice....very handy for stinger hooks, or finess presentations. I like a swivel when using spoons though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troutologist Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Stringease Fast Tach snaps are a similar product that are a bit more robust. Awesome to replace a treble on a spoon and thread on a minnow head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigsnreels Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Stringease Fast Tach snaps are a similar product that are a bit more robust. Awesome to replace a treble on a spoon and thread on a minnow head. I had a look at these and they seem to be very well reviewed. I'm not sure I would completely trust a non-locking snap swivel (both for a fish making short work of it, as mentioned above, or for losing an expensive lure - as also mentioned above), but I'm getting my gear ready for bass season opener next month so I might give these a shot. I do like the low profile and the convenience of these snaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Stringease Fast Tach snaps are a similar product that are a bit more robust. I find all Stringeze products to be top quality, at least in my experience anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel&chrome Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 I've seen some fly fisherman use tiny ones (dont know the brand name), very fast and efficient. As mentioned above, stringease makes some good ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
