So you are saying you have fumble fingers??Dan said:I use snap swivels for 3 reasons. First, I am fumble fingered and it takes me forever to tie good knots. Second, I am fumble fingered and it takes me forever to tie good knots. Third, I am fumble fingered and it takes me forever to tie good knots.
I have found that the most important thing is to use as small a snap swivel as possible. The only time its a problem is if connected directly to a hook. (Looks very unnatural and hard to disguise, and I almost always use snelled hooks) I see more incidents of trebles getting snagged on the line when using a snap swivel causing the lure to run sideways or backwards.

Many-a-times I've encountered that. Maybe I'll have to switch to swivels on the lure. But dag-gummit, I'm too damn lazy!!Jay_In_Parker said:Those rings will cut thru your line if the line gets inbetween them.
