I been wondering about this also, so I’m glad somebody asked. I was wanting use a snap for two reasons: 1. The cold as mentioned. My fingers are stiffer than they used to be. 2. Just the speed of changing.
I am trying to downsize/simplify my fishing and try carrying 2 or 3 rods instead as many as I used to carry and thought the snap would help me change baits quicker. But as mentioned I was worried about the gills seeing the snap as something extra.
I will be trying this next week when I get my new boat. Will let you know what happens.
