AKFerzy7 Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Looking for other options for snaps that will work with the vibrating jig blades sold by lpo without modifying the blade. Has anyone found anything stronger than a size 2 duolock that will work? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 If you find the duo lock snaps aren't strong enough, then try the Owner Hyper Welded Quick Snaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKFerzy7 Posted October 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 I tried the owner snagless snap and no size would fit. Only thing besides a size 2 duolock ive gotten to work was the largest size mustad fastach snap but bent it bad and dont remember what i did apparently because i cant get another one onto a blade. Ill order a pack of a few sizes of quick snaps as well as some other ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKFerzy7 Posted October 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Im really happy with this bait after finding the perfect split ring but i throw it on 50 lb braid and have had a snap bust open and lost the jig and blade on either a big striper or catfish. The old split rings i was using were fine wire and wouldnt take too big of a bass to straighten one, would quickly rust after use and now ive found the extra play they had inside the hook eye was allowing the blade to flip around and bind ruining casts. If anyone is making bladed/vibrating jigs that are connected via split ring they should try the owner hyper wire split ring in size 3. Once i upgraded the ring and seen how better the bait runs im really wanting to strengthen the next weakest link. Ill post updates as i figure new out new stuff incase anybody is interested.

smalljaw Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 The snagless snap is different but if they didn't work what about the Owner Hyper Crosslock Snap? The lowest rated one is 70lb test, it sounds like you need extreme as you are using 50lb braid. Is 30lb braid too thin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Hahn Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 I don't know what they are called, but they were used on Hellbenders and the old style Bombers. I bet they would work on a vibrating jig. But, I have never had a problem withthe #2 snap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
