Does a snap/swivle effect the action of a lure?
Message:
Hey everyone I only have 1 rod (2 if my dad doesnot fishbut his is 20+ years old) so I can't just swap rods to change lures like most of you do. Does a snap/swivle really make a difference in the lure presantion(the big fish I have caught were with no snap/swivle but that might be coincidence). thanks in advance for any help

I never use a snap swivel for slow moving baits like jigs, tubes, worms, senkos etc. I think the fish see it and it turns them off. I have heard people using them on drop shot set ups to eliminate line twist, but I don't use them there either. I might use one on a crankbait, spinner bait, or chatter bait, because the bait is usually moving so fast that it cannot be seen as it is a reaction strike type bait for the most part. Most of us bass guys re- ty so frequently that we do it in our sleep, and just don't use swivels at all.
