Question for the crank experts

Recommended Posts

Markell,

I'm not an expert but from what I've noticed... lures smaller in mass will be effected by the added wieght and might not swim right. For eg: a 2 1/2 inch mystic minnow will not swim at all with a swivel. Where as larger lures like the Normans DD's don't seem to be effected by the added half gram.

Tight lines,

Shawn

I generally use one or the other, a split ring or a duo-snap, not both. I don't ever use a swivel on a crank tho, it's not necessary as the crank shouldn't be spinning, well unless it's one that I have built, lol. I fish for salmon and steelhead primarily and it used to be that the plugs we use for them all came with split rings.....hot shots, wiggle warts, hot-n-tot, kwikfish, tadpolly (my favorite), etc. Now tho virtually all of them come with a duo snap which I much prefer as it allows you to change plugs without having to retie, snap on snap off......did that sound familiar?
