im sorry that i should have described more clearly on what i meant by snap swivel. i do mean the little brass ones. you know the little barrel swivel with a clothes pin on the end that snaps to the lure and then proceeds to hang up on anything and everything there is in the water such as tree branch's, rocks and my favorite GRASS. dont get me wrong i'm not trying to offend anyone if they use them its just not my cup of tee now. sure i started out with my dad tying one on my line as a child. yes they are good for beginners and children like i was wearing my dad out with wanting a differnt lure on every 20 casts and i do tye them on my sons for the same reason. i just learned one day that i got more control over how much i had to clean grass off the head of the bait without one on the front and less hang ups. we all know how frustraiting it can be to have a sweet cast with a crankbait get fouled upcause the head of the bait looks as if it is a cheeya pet and not a single strand on the hooks. i know this still happens but i belive it is far less without that extra half inch of metal on the front. i do believe they may have they're situations that they can be used on certain lures such as a buzz bait... in open water. i do use just the barrell swivel for flukes and baits of that nature to cut down on line twists. i just wanted to clarify a little more on my topic and i love the comments. keep them comin in

hello. me and a good friend of mine was talking bass fishing at work the other day and he asked why you need so many rods with all these different lures tied on.i simply replied "to have something ready for any situation that might present its self without havig to retie." and then i couldn't believe the words that come out of his mouth next."why not have one pole and snap swivel so you can change lures really fast.".... WOW! the words came out of his mouth and my jaw dropped and instantly turned to a smile. we spent the next four hours discussing this and i would ask every person that would walk by the ultimate question.when was the last time you used a snap swivel while bass fishing. everyone had a great comeback but the best was "didn't those phase out with the rotary phone". it made for a great topic at work but the results were few limited by the amount of people to ask who actually fished. so now i turn the question to you fellow anglers of TU to top off our little poll. all coments are welcome especially if your like me and cant remember what one looks like let alone think of the last time you tied one on the end of your line! thank you for your time and i cant wait to read some results! To be or not to be used in bass fishing: THE SNAP SWIVEL .

I'm looking for the color chameleon. yum is the only company that i know of that makes it. worms and chunk trailers are the only baits that it comes in .it is such a sweet color i would love to try it in some other soft plastics bait. it has three different color to it (natural,flouresent purple, and an olive green), depending on the light conditions.

thanks for the advise. if its soft plastic i'll throw it. everything from frogs, flukes to critters on the bottom! i've done alot of art with casting and pouring so i can just see my biggest problem will be the colorin process cause i like the two and three tones like baby bass. so i guess this will be an adventure for sure.... and i cant wait!

hello. i am new to this board and to the tackle making lifestyle! I'm looking to get started in making soft plastics and searchin for some insight on what to start out with! told you i was new. should i go with a kit(if so what is the best) or other. any help will be greatly appriciated! thank you for your time.
