Do you feel you are losing precious fishing time re-tying knots when changing lures? Want to speed up the process? Lure clips or snaps may be for you.<\/p>\n
We all want speed and efficiency when it comes to our fishing. Lure clips can help us achieve this.<\/p>\n
Tying your lure on with loop knots may be the most cost-efficient way to connect your line to your lure. But knots fail if not tied well. Lure clips require only a simple Uni-knot.<\/p>\n
Years ago, I would rarely recommend lure clips or snaps to clients. I\u2019ve had plenty of negative experiences with them, all resulting in lost fish.<\/p>\n
And during those early years of mine, I didn\u2019t have a keen eye for detail and would quickly put the blame on tackle failure. Rod, reel, line, hooks, and terminals. All of these had their share of my blame.<\/p>\n
But one of my most heart-breaking fish losses was blamed on a lure clip. A snap swivel to be exact. A swivel with a clip attachment, used for quick lure changes.<\/p>\n
A lure clip and a snap swivel are very different pieces of equipment. But I was young and inexperienced, and I put the two together.<\/p>\n
The point of failure was not the \u201cclip\u201d itself, but the eye of the swivel. Nonetheless, never again did I trust these \u201cpaper-clips\u201d when I went out fishing.<\/p>\n
Years later, with experience and age, plus some good old-fashioned common sense, I distinguished the difference between snap swivels and lure clips, and how convenient it is to have them when fishing for certain species.<\/p>\n
Yes, lure clips are great for fishing and we highly recommend using them to help improve your fishing.<\/p>\n
