How And When To Use A Snap Swivel, Clip Or Tie Directly 

Thanks for that input, I agree.

Thank you I only use swivels and guess what I still catch fish

Agreed

The fish don't seem to mind the Hooks so why worry about the snap on anything?

You are welcome.

I’m with Mark, really made sense to a newbie like me!

I'm here with you Mark I fished a lot in my youth now I'm getting back into it and needing to learn

Its been great , some nice crappie slabs on lipless crank baits On the bass side , some real nice 4lb range on ....Chatter bait , mega bass mag draft , Fred Roumbanis line -thru swimbait panicked action from optimum baits. I have so much to learn so keep the videos goin !!! Thanks Again and thanks for reaching out Bill

@@yingadinger Great to hear!

Less hardware is better to get bit, but less convenient and you might get bit off more. Just gotta find that happy middle ground.

I think we're doing it right Brad, KPO.

Any time Steve!

Yes, it's an interesting subject. I've had tournament fisherman commented here how clips alter the sink/dive rate of lures, and they consider that a negative. Then I was just reading a recent issue of In-Fisherman and they were taking about using different size clips and even changing hook size to tweak the sink/dive rates of lures. Some comment here say you're missing on fish if you use a clip on crankbaits, but every time I see a video of Jon Thelen (of Lindy Fishing Tackle) using cranks he has a clip on his line. I pretty much do as I mentioned in the video. There certainly seems to be a lot of really good fisherman (fisherman that pay their mortgage by catching fish - tournaments, guides, seminar speakers, RU-vid teachers, pro-staffers) that do the same. But some really good fisherman do not. Thanks for the input.

Always welcome

Good to hear!

Thanks for watching, KPO.

Thanks you.

welcome

Good tip!

And a correctly tied knot. But yes definitely put split rings on spoons that don't have one.

What knot do you use to tie onto your swivel?

​@@ohno2624 I personally use the "uni knot" but i don't catch particularly big fish so i can't tell you for sure.

Cool! I was actually born there but moved to Upper Michigan at a young age. Still visit once in a while and have an uncle that still has a summer house on the Wisconsin River/Boom lake area. Actually fished there a lot as a kid.

Overpopulation is the #1 driver of climate change. It's going to be a very hard world for all of these kids you're having.

@@mousepuddingok first of all dude screw you!! Secondly, you are spitting theories and not facts. So save you opinions for someone who cares. Don't worry about my kids bro we good over here Finally, humans have inhabited about 15% of the earth... 15%... there is more fresh water than surface area we have populated. THE SCIENCE shows that the earth's climate is in constant change so stop trying to blame humans. The climate changed long before us and will continue to do so.

Congrates! Glad you enjoyed the vid. I have 6 kids of my own. Fishing with them is a treasure.

@@KnettersPracticalOutdoors i have 6 and 1 otw. Congrats bro!!! We all love to fish as well even my girls. Even tho they won't bait a hook lol

Thanks

No problem!

thanks

Cool!

Yes, sometimes bass guys don't know what we are dealing with in the north.

Yes , Northern Michigan pike and muskie. I'm torn between tying a fluoro 20# -30# leader directly to a 6 inch 1 to 2 oz swimbait??

Thanks for sharing!

You are welcome

Yes, a lot of fishermen do it that way. My leader isn't very long, so when I reel up to the swivel it doesn't make casting difficult. I prefer this to having a longer leader with a knot. Even a small knot doesn't glide thru the guides perfectly. But if you feel a need for longer leaders the knot is the way to go, KPO.

LHey has ppl

how does that eliminate line twists?

@@Straight0uttaCrofton it doesn't. truth be told, you don't actually need a swivel, either. I run braid direct to a flouro leader on all my spinning rods and have not once used a swivel, even with inline spinners. It's good advice for the guys throwing mono or flouro, to be sure. Line twist is a huge problem with vinyl lines, but not hardly at all with braid.

You're welcome!

Cool, thanks!

I may have to do a video on this subject.

A snell knot variation or palomar knot is usually what I use for line to hook, easy and better than a double uni or other common knots. Idk about line to swivel tho bc I havent really used them
