Quick Change Snaps - Arkie & Bandit

Duo lock in whatever size I find on sale. Never had one come open. Black ones for me but use silver ones too. Fish don't seem to care. Always leave split ring, trying for as much action as i can get. If I use any swivels on anything they're sampo ball bearing stainless.

Thanks for all the information and help on this as they look stronger than regular swivel snaps.

Scrat, I use them on both droppers on my spider rig. Much rather change out one hook as entire rig. Use #1 or2.

As to hard to open and close, I sometimes have to use my hemostats to open them. Not so much because they are hard but the hands or cold or the snap been mis shaped by a catfish or snag. Generally they aren't too tough to open.

X2 with Pappy. I get the Size 1 duo locks from Janns and I've caught some large northern pike and they didn't fail. Never bought a crank that had a split ring on the eye so not sure about that. But no swivels ever on cranks
