I have used snapswivels for many years, but was recently advised by a sporting goods employee to consider tweaking my setup. When connecting crankbaits to Fireline/PowerPro/Etc, what are your thoughts on the following options?
1. Remove the split ring and connect direct to the eyelet molded within the lip of the bait.
2. Using Duolock style connectors secured with a Palomar knot between line and crank.
3. If switching from cranks to 3 ways/spinner rigs, using a single barrel swivel within the spinner rig’s leader to provide protection from the rig wrapping upon itself.
Thanks in advance for any responses!
