Interlock Snap
A question about crankbaits and interlock snap swivels?
When your fishing crankbaits do you attach an interlock swivels so you can change lures easily or do you tie them directly to the line? What effect to the bait do you think using a swivel will have on the running depth?
The swivels I'm talking about looks like this-http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_6276_100010005_100000000_100010000_100-10-5
I am pretty sure you already know the answer to this question but here are my two cents worth.
If fishing waters that are known to have toothy fish (Mushky, Pike, Wahoo, Tigerfish, etc...) a wire leader with a cross lock snap swivel as you have shown is the only consideration for attaching crankbaits to your line. When fishing waters known to be free of toothy critters or for fishing bass as an example, I will attach my line directly to the split ring on lures that come with one to provide for a free moving bait that looks more natural. On other lures that do not come with an split ring to tie onto, I use a loop knot or tie directly to the wire on the front of the bait. Re-tying knots doesn't take much effort and is advisable when fishing crankbaits in areas where lines are constantly coming into contact whith rocks, trees or other abrasive thing below the surface that wear and nick you line reducing it's strength. The effect a snap swivel will have on your lures running depth is minimal and could be measured in inches or fractions of inches except on very small floating lures such a Rapala minnow.
At times a swivel can become fouled with weeds and trash on the retrieve or get tangled in your hooks while casting which obviously wouldn't be very productive way to fish. Some fisherman will tell you they actually prefer a swivel because it adds flash to the lure and they can change lures faster. I suppose at times that could help in certain instances.
Okay, there's my two cents worth and about a nickel extra.
Good fishin' friend!
