PikeMastaRapp Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 I was going to start making my own leaders and i was wondering if anyone here that makes their own flurocarbon leaders could tell me what brand of Snaps and bb swivels they use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike-A-Pike Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Rollie & Helen's "Ball Bearing Swivels" and "Cross-Lok Snaps" They are made by Berkley. http://www.muskyshop.com/modules/cart/navigate.php/nav_id/5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike-A-Pike Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 I don't know if I'm an internet Santa or just a guy with too much time on my hands... my wife would probably tell you it's the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuttem Jack Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 I also use the same ball bearing swivels, but I use the stay-lok snaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeyJ Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 I like the Berkley Cross-Lok Snaps, but may be switching to these Japanese ones: The are more rounded than the berkley's and give a freer action. Of course, unless you see other stuff on that website that you want, it wouldn't be worth it to order just those because of the shipping. I probably won't actually end up switching for that very reason, but I like the concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeyJ Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 I also use the same ball bearing swivels, but I use the stay-lok snaps. I just looked at those stay-lok snaps, they look nice. Maybe I will be switching after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuttem Jack Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Here's a link to a video for the new staylok snaps that are supposed to be even nicer. I haven't tried them yet, but everyone that has said they are nice. http://muskie.outdoorsfirst.com/watch.asp?id=778 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeyJ Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 I just noticed on that picture of the Japanese snaps I posted that it says "Cross-Rock". Oh, that is too funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PikeMastaRapp Posted March 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Cutt'em Jack have you seen them on the market or you see them from the video? I tried to find a site to see price and i cant find them in any online lure store. Stringease doesnt even have them on their site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuttem Jack Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Here's a picture of them that I got from another site. I haven't seen them for sale anywhere or what they will cost. http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd319/muskellunged/midwestmuskyclub/Fastach.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
