Another excellent presentation. I’m relieved that you use snaps on crank baits. So easy to switch presentations. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I tried one time and my snap kept getting caught on my hooks
Yep... as of last summer I started using ...
20lb braid
15lb floroclear leader
Micro Power Clips
AND ... I had the best season of my life ... what a difference!
Great 👍 Video 📹... Thankx
Great to hear!
which Micro power clips did you settle on?
VMC makes a specific crankbait snap and that's all I use.
I also use snaps on chatterbaits. Works well.
Thank you!!! I have always wondered about those circle 1s..
You are so welcome!
Great video. Interesting comment with removing the "O" ring on most crankbaits and jerk baits. The next question: What about "leaders" attached to those baits? Metal with snap included or Mono/Floro with a snap?
I use P Line Floroclear as a leader 15lb .. I've caught - Crappie , Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass , Yello Perch... Sucker Fish , Catfish.. Chain Pickerl...
With ..
20lb PowerPro SSV8 Braid
15lb P Line Floroclear- Leader
Micro Power Clips
I remove the snap rings..
Penn Battle 3 4000
Ugly Stick Gx2
I find this set up works all around for me ... of course heavier or lighter equment and tackle would work better for specific fish and size. But this set up works best for me all around ... I can bring small or lighter oe heavier tackle or gear if I need or want to ... Dan
I fish snakeheads in very heavy cover, and I use braided mainline to a fluorocarbon leader. Because of the leader, if I retie every time I change a lure, it would be a waste of leader, and it wastes time when retying lures. A small snap makes it so much easier when I am throwing out this lure then I'm throwing that lure, and it's easier. Never have trouble with algae or weeds catching on the snap, and adds an extra barrier between their teeth and my line
That’s a good tip as well, Clariid Fisherman. Thanks for sharing.
I use a snap to make jika rig from time to time, but yeah mainly I use them in a ways you mention. Thanks for spreading the knowledge 🙂
No problem 👍
Thank you, crystal clear.
I appreciate the tips. I have been attaching my snap to those circled split rings on all my cranks and what a pain for my big fingers. I’ll take them off and use just the snap from now on.
Glad to help, TMS. Let me know how it works out as I would love to see the results.
When using a snap with a jerkbait, do you also remove any split ring (both round and oval)?
Yes
Great info Glenn! Very helpful! Thanks for the video and keep up the good work. God bless!
Papa Duck, glad I can help. Thanks for subscribing as well.
Hello Glenn I'm Paul i was just wondering if you think you could make a video of what you're talking about the way you tie up your rigs for just say 5 different ones okay then i appreciate this video and I'll wait and see what you come up with.Have a great day today thanks.
Thank You Glenn for your Sharing on Snaps.
The CHATTERBAITS have Snaps as Standard Hardware on them. Better than tying directly to the Lip/Blade on them. Right?
Take Care & have a Good Autumn/Fall Fishing Season.
If you tied directly to the blade the chatterbait wouldn't work correctly. I fish chatterbaits for Bass in Pike infested water so I use a snap swivel and connect it to their snap and now I have an inch and a half of steel in front and a rarely get broken off. I still catch a lot of big Bass with it.
I don't us split rings on any of my cranks. All snaps. Not many guys out there now days to help a angler out like glen does. Good stuff
Awesome. Thanks for the feedback JoshBirtchetFishing!
@@bassresource hey your welcome, we need more guys out there like you willing to help folks.
Love your videos 😊!!! I change out all my split rings to snaps the minute I open the package. Conventional wisdom says keep the split rings but I/we know better, right? The only times I don't switch is on lipless. I found it affects the action.
You got that right! Thanks for watching, @ernestpaling5097!
Good information.
Fantastic, completely agree, thank you for vid!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
What about using the snap and split ring together???
wacky rig, tube baits, stuff that causes lots of line twist mostly on spinning gear I use a snap SWIVEL.. never had an issue..
I guarantee that you would catch more bass if you didn't use a snap swivel on finesse baits like tubes and wacky rigs.
Here's how to prevent line twist on spinning gear, regardless of what you're throwing: th-cam.com/video/jbCMGSmAGs4/w-d-xo.html
@@NorthernMike How is that? so they don't see 60# braid? they don't ever see the big 5/0 hook on a fluke rig? they don't ever see treble hooks? having a little swivel will not decrease or increase bites if you are worried about them seeing it..
@@DAVE_WHITE I guess I'm talking from my own experience. I've tried snap swivels on finesse baits. There's no question in my mind that I get more fish in the same water bodies when I'm not using them. Don't get me wrong, when I throw baits that are constantly moving I don't hesitate to use swivels because I believe they won't notice it. When a bait is just sitting there for a period of time (like a tube, etc) I just didn't get as many bites as when I tied on without a snap or snap swivel. You won't have a comparison if you don't try it both ways. To each his own- so if you think it doesn't make a difference more power to you.
@@NorthernMike We all have our own experiences and our opinions, having a intelligent debate is great.. What works for you and I may be different and that is ok, We still both are out for the same goal to catch a fish.. Enjoy fishing!!!!
Thank you for this great information. What size snap do you recommend?
Awesome video. Was wondering your opinion on jerkbaits and a clip? Would it be same as crank bait?
What about glide baits and other jointed baits? Sebile?
Great video! What size snap for a zara spook?
VMC crankbait snap
snaps are good when junk fishing. The only advantage is quick lure change out. Once you find a pattern, knot only.
I'm taking a friend who doesn't use a bait caster. Spinning rods need a swivel. Will a small snap swivel work for her?
Spinning rods do not need a swivel if you use the equipment properly. Here's how: th-cam.com/video/jbCMGSmAGs4/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the great tips on snaps!!👊🏻 Question: Do you take off the swivel and just use the snap on your crankbaits or attach snap to swivel? Stay Safe & God Bless!!!
I don't use swivels, just snaps.
@@bassresource Thanks for the reply back. I thought you did but wanted to make sure. Will be making the switch.
Do you remove the factory ring from the crankbait if your gonna use a snap ring? Or do you connect the snap ring to the ring that’s on it?
Yes, remove the ring.
Hi I’m kinda new for the fishing scene but what about lipless crank baits? I don’t ever see any topics on why people don’t use them, it a split ring just better for those types?
Snaps are better for lipless crankbaits, for all the same reasons given in the video for crankbaits.
@@bassresource Thank you
When you use a snaps on a crankbait, do you take off the split ring?
Yes.
These teardrop/egg clips are a nightmare to use, especially closing and opening. A breakaway mini clip is way better and easier to change lures.
Would you still take the split ring off if you are using the snap swivel ?
I only use snaps, and use them instead of split rings.
Yes. Take it off and using a snap swivel would be the next closest thing.
@@bassresource Thank you for your answer
@@aleckrug1554 Thank you for your answer
What are a few of your favorite snaps for crankbaits and jerkbaits?
VMC Duolock Snaps: bit.ly/3BoHbwJ
You don't use snaps in bass fishing except these 20 exceptions 😂
You just told everyone you didn't watch the video. LOL
Great controversial topic
Controversial? LOL, hardly! This is fishing. If you want to use snaps, use them. If not, then don't. I'm just letting people know how I use them in case they're looking for ideas. The only controversies you find in bass fishing are contrived by TH-camrs desperate for clicks.
What can you do when your eyes are getting them damn old cataracts
