for years i’ve been happy wit a Snap Swivel for my baited hooks… at Stella Maris B&T , Richard recommended these snaps for braided or mono lines… not sure if there’s a difference…

gonna give it a try anyway… 2/ $ 1.00, braided, 3/ $1.00, mono… cellfish…

You fished the beach?? 😳
I thought you were an offshore guy?
I was thinking and laughing that most people 'round here don't know what cany is short for from your old NE name😎😎

I don't know. I've used the plastic ones pretty much exclulsively both from shore & from a boat. I've never had the braid cut through them. I've had the swivel open on me from time to time but never cut through.

Have a bag full of these type. The ones I have allow you to load the finder without passing line through them. There is a swivel built in that allows you to open the body of the finder & lay the line inside & then close it. That's the part that would occasionally open & you'd lose the whole thing.

Usually used them with eels & clams.

Dont look like a well thought out design.

no problems 99.8% of the time - what I like about it is that you don't have to go cutting off your tackle if you want to change up a hook or something along that line. Allows you a quick change over. You want to try a different color because the fluke don't like what you using - takes about 5 seconds. Instead of cutting the line so you can remove it from the find & then having to rehtread the line back through the finder & retie.

Arent they just for sinkers?

Or balloons, which is what I use them for while rigging for bass, tuna & sharks.

There's NFW I'd depend on them to hold one of those aforementioned species where the hooks must be directly attached to the line...

Im not sure I would trust it holding a sinker

yes - sinker goes on that - your line runs through the center of it with your tackle attached to the line

I know how it works I was trying to figure out how it helped with quick changing tackle when its only purpose is to hold a sinker on the bottom and let your bait flow freely

Sorry - bad example - you're fishing on the bottom - fish start busting on the top - need to switch to a plug, popper, whatever - much easier to change it out.


I'm old. Takes me awhile these days.
