Swim Bait Connection

I understand the theories/arguments on both sides. But after catching many 20lb lings on cheapo brass swivels...I'm not convinced it matters either way. Although I've been using better quality swivels lately.

I'm a straight tie guy

Ditto.....and retie often.

I'm not computer savvy enough to grab a picture from a website to  post on here, but if you search "Tactical Anglers Clips" or "SPRO Split Snaps" you will see what many of the East Coast Striper pro's rave about...

I haven't caught anything big enough to brag about on here with these, but these Clips seem far superior to any of the DuoLock type connections...

I try to use snaps most of the time however I bought some P-line duo lock barrel swivels that looked really good till I tried them out. The ends are bent so tight that you can't get them through an eye on a jig head. They are great for irons, but not swim baits so I've been tying direct lately.

Those are some interesting clips. I used the duo lock this weekend, and everything worked out. I will probably stick with those.

Dude, thanks for the help...  

I discovered these Tactical Anglers Clips reading The Surfcasters Journal; it seems like these are really popular on the East Coast.

They look a lot like paperclips? 

I started using the TA clips a few years ago, and have never looked back...
I gave a few to a friend up in AK, he has yet to pull one apart on the giant halibut. For my uses, the small (50lb) ones are the best. I find myself changing lures more often due to the ease.
