    Hi all,
    Just wondering if anyone know of a manufacturer that makes a 3 way swivel with a snap on one of them? I’m think of pulling spinners on a 3 way rig this coming summer but it would be great if the 3 way had a snap on one of the links, like a bouncer does. It would make changing them out much quicker than cutting the end loop off and tying on every time…
    I suppose I could make a few by adding a cross lock with a split ring..

    Make sense?
    Any sources that anyone know of?

    Thanks
    Don

    Don’t need a split ring, just open up a snap all the way and put it on.

    Duolock snap would be easy to add.

    My weights on a 3-way are attached with loop knots. That way easy on/off.

    Snaps on the 3-way will likely cause a tangle, but like the others say.. just add a snap. I’d think a duo would cause most tangle problems due to the snap having exposed wires. I’d look at snaps without any exposed wires to catch.

    Yes that’ll work.
    Expensive though.

    If you look at the snap used, it can be taken apart from either end. You can use your existing 3-ways and add a cheap snap… Just like they did in your attached link… just saying you can do it for less $ than they’re asking.

    Back on 16 January 2011 I made a Cat Tip of the Day titled “Add a Snap When You Need It”. I added that Cat Tip to the Fishing Article Forum and it has sat there over the years but the pictures that went with the article dropped off. I managed to find the pictures so I updated the cat tip as a PDF and added the pictures. I think this is what you were looking for.
