Re: tie or snap?
Most definately a tie. A snap will hurt the action on most lures.

Re: tie or snap?
I tie everything except for crankbaits I use a snap so I can change lures quickly.

Re: tie or snap?
Welcome to the forum!
Tie-I either use a Palomar knot or a Trilene knot. I used snap swivels when I was a kid until one came open and my favorite crankbait went sailing off to the murky depths. Never again after that. |

Re: tie or snap?
I use small duolock snaps. I don't believe they affect the lure's action, but that's only my personal observation. Nevertheless, I have 100% confidence when using them.

Re: tie or snap?
TIE!
I have seen some instances where a snap is handy, read that back of the crankbait, some recommend a snap, some top water floaters do to. However I never use them at all, I have been with guys that are old and for thier poor eyesight it really helps. Also a snap or barrell swivel is used on carolina rigs with a leader, and also on top water floaters worms so that the line won't twist as your reel I dont use them for couple of reasons, I trust my knots more, and two, somehow I think the bass that are finicky wont go near them,, could be my imagination on that one, and third, I takes away from the sensing a tick or thump on your line IMO |

Snaps on crankbaits, tie everything else.

Re: tie or snap?
some of my lures snaps work fine on but others. (like my jitterbug for instance) makes the front end hang down too low making it look un-natraul

Re: tie or snap?
Another thing after catching a few fish its a good idea to retie anyway. I always retie after catching about three. They really don't save a lot of time if you do this.
