clip swivels

[sloenuf]

does anyone else use the barrel swivels with the clips to put your hook on, instead of tying your hook?

[Snakeb8]

I don't, I tie my hook and leader directly to my barrel swivel

[catfishmaster]

i us barrel swivels. in my opinion if you put your hook on the clip and you hook a decent fish it will straighten out the clip and you will lose the fish.

Nope i tie strait to the swivel. I do know people that use the clips at the swivels and have a leader then their hook.

I USE THE BARREL SWIVEL WITH A CLIP WITH A LEADER & HOOK

[sloenuf]

yea i use a regular barrel swivel with a 30lb cajun leader and then a barrel swivel with a clip for my hook. and ive yet to have a problem with it. slammed a 27 years ago. but the reason im asking is my friend told me he had a hit and it bent the clip completely straight. ive never heard of it happening before.

I use barrel swivels, but my dad does use the clip ones. Do you use a locking style (left) or straight style (right)?

[sloenuf]

i use the locking ones like the one of the left

[coffeeman]

I didn't know anyone put a hook directly on a snap swivel. I thought the snap swivel was supposed to be for using snelled hooks

i had them pull out.was fishing salt water.long time ago back in the 80s never used them again never will use them again.
think it was a big shake did not get to see it rod hit me in the forhead so hard it cut me.

yeah i never use the clips, even for channel cats they will deff. pull out when you get/have a big fish one, but i have saw people use them and have not a problem but im not going to take that chance.
