snaps vs rapala knot

Mark Komo Posted 10/9/2010 9:27 PM (#94674) Subject: snaps vs rapala knot Member Posts: 1195 Location: Orland Park, IL I have been using the snaps exclusively since its just so convenient to switch out lures. Am I missing the boat by not using the rapala knot on my cranks, especially the ones that roll.? john mannerino Posted 10/12/2010 6:29 PM (#94712 - in reply to #94674) Subject: Re: snaps vs rapala knot Member Posts: 1188 Location: Chicago IL. I see no difference Mark. Snaps are just as good.

Get the guy off of the Illinois for a couple of years, and we have to train him all over again! It's all about the speed that you can swap lures to the "hot color" with, Mark! lol iceman35 Posted 10/14/2010 6:34 AM (#94742 - in reply to #94674) Subject: Re: snaps vs rapala knot Member Posts: 650 I've been using the new owner weedless snap. pricey but a solid option that works purple chub Posted 10/14/2010 11:33 AM (#94753 - in reply to #94674) Subject: RE: snaps vs rapala knot Member Posts: 44 What size/kind of snaps do you use? Do you use them for everything (trolling, casting, jigging, etc.) or just certain applications? I've been thinking about trying them, but haven't been able to get away for the knots yet. Thanks for the feedback.
