Crankbait Question?

[Saltine]

I use snaps, but no swivel. I change colors too often to tie them each time.

I use no# 7 swivels and normans speed snaps for the small lures such as arkies and johnson crappie lures.

I use snap swivels my partner ties his cranks to the line It seems to me I catch more I think the snaps whether swivel or not allow the crank to track true and be free more action when slow trolling my 2 cents

I usually tie my lures on but after reading this article and my failing eyesight I'm changing to a snap swivel.

The man who taught me to drag crankbait s. Said- never tie a 2 penny swivel to a 5$ crankbait. Use good ones.

blackfish, I was going to say the same thing.

Salmon fishing on Lake Michigan taught me that. 16 rods in the water, mutiple baits, very easily 300 to 400 dollars in the water at one time. We always use ball bearing swivels and ball bearing snap swivels.

On cranks for walley, we simply use the snaps. It seems to allow the bait to travel better (the proper wable) in the water. Put on side by side with a crank tied strait to the leader and you will be able to see the difference in the water.
