What fish can you catch with a snap?
What is a snap used for?
A snap is a clip without a swivel. Fast lure changes when the lure should not spin on a swivel.
How is a snap different from similar gear?
No barrel. Spinning. Crankbaits and minnows often swim better on a snap than on a snap swivel.
When should you use a snap?
Clip it to hard baits when you want a quick change and a free-swinging lure, not anti-twist.
What problems does a snap solve?
It lets the lure hunt on a loose clip instead of hanging stiff on a locked swivel.
