Tying crankbaits

Just getting geared up to pull cranks. Do you tie them on or can you use snaps for faster changes?

I use a 2oz trolling weight with a 2' leader tied to it

Most of us use snaps or swivels

Snaps! Quicker when your changing baits a lot.

That's what I was hoping. Arthritis in the hands don't let me tie very easy these days. Thanks guys.

Just make sure they're good ones!

What are good ones?

Lazer brand is a good snap, eagle claw makes one, I will try and use 25 lb lasers or a number one eagle claw, if I run out, just cut the swivel off a 25 lb model of a snap swivel and that will work till I get some lazers ordered. Never had a snap of any kind open on a crappie. If you have arthritis, take a look at the size of a number 2 eagle claw snap. Might be easier for you to open as its alittle bigger than a number one size.

Hey I am not sure if what I have would help of hinder you, but I have an add on the Member Sponsor board fro some little clips so check it out and take a look. They may be too small, I do not know, but I use them on my jigs since I mostly fish with braid and hate to retie!

Here is a link to my post on there and you have to look at my last post on it.

Also we use to use these down on the coast when I was fishing saltwater. I can't really find the same ones, but this snap was the kind we used as the other kind just suck! I did use some ball bearing ones as well!
