Spooning?

[Garry]

While spooning do you use a swivel or what kind of knot ? Just picked some of these jigs 1.5 oz . Excited to try them ,

I am old and don't see well so I tie a bunch of snaps on my line before heading out and then change lures throughout the day as needed by just unsnapping and changing lures and snapping back up. It works great ! The gap in the snap also lets the spoon work with a little more action than being tied on with a knot.

What size snap's do you use?
Thank's

That big snap doesn’t spook em apparently. Just ordered some on amazon

Thank's Chris
I usually just use braided line and don't use a swivel or snap, but when I use Flouracarbon, I use a swivel, I'll have to try the snap's.
Thank you.

I use sizes #1, #2, #3 and#4. #3 for spoons and #1 and #2 for bass baits. #3 for trolling. Tie a good knot when attaching the snap and it should last all day. Check the line after catching a lot of fish. If there are nicks in the line, retie or pick up another rod. Retie the snaps before the next fishing trip.

I have a plano box full of snap swivels and snaps....but seem to only use the snaps anymore.

Sizes are #1 #2 #4 and #6 for the same applications Wayne noted above.

Any particular reason to use the snap instead of swivel type snap? It does look like it might be easier to unsnap. I think I'm ordering some also.

A swivel is built to allow a spinner to work properly. That circular motion is not needed on a lure that runs from side to side. If you have spinner lures then you need swivels.

Ball bearing snap swivels will reduce line twist that commonly occurs when fishing jigging spoons. High quality ball bearing snap swivels will not hurt the spoon's action, however cheap ones might.
