Using "No-Knot - Fas-Snap" devices

Post by DJP_Burien » Mon Jun 30, 2014 3:04 pm

The "No-Knot - Fas-Snap" connecting links are easily available from Cabela's and many other sources. In my freshwater trolling I usually use them to connect plugs, spoons, and straight-line spinners to my line. Never use them for flies, jigs, or spinnerbaits, although I'm not sure just why - they don't seem "right" for some applications. I hardly ever hear of anyone else using them. Is this product the sign of a rank amateur or what? Seem to work great for quick lure changes. Never see them mentioned in the magazines, BASS Master, In-Fisherman etc. There is a competing product which has a more rounded appearance than the Fas-Snap. Never seen anyone else but me using them, either. Any comments would be studied and appreciated. Thanks.

Lots of us use snaps for crankbaits and such. Just different manufactures.

edit: after looking those up, I wouldn't use them as the end is open and the lure WILL find it's way off sooner or later. And the line WILL find it's way into the snap opening sooner or later. AND weeds WILL find their way onto/into the opening. Just something more to gather the weeds. I use the Duo-Lock snap.
