First off do different type of leaders require different type snaps and swivels?

If no, what type of snap, swivel or clip do I need for the following Lures. I plan on making leaders, of what material I dont know yet. ( heavy flouro, heavy steel leaders, wire leaders)

1. Large Crankbaits 10-15 feet depth

2. Bucktails

3. Hawg Wobblers

4.Swimbaits

5. Jerkbaits

Thanks

I use bucher rings on all my baits.I mostly use 124# steel leaders that I twist myself.I tye my line to one end and attach the other end to the ring.IMHO this is the strongest setup and the cheapest.

Exactly what plitzzz said.

Couple exceptions 1) I use the 174 pound straight wire, 2) occassionally I will make up some leaders with the Stringease Locking Snaps (For a snap, they are excellent) 3) when I make up bucktail leaders, I spend the little extra and get the ball bearing swivels.

Has anyone used a fluorocarbon leader tied directly to synthetic line (no swivel)? Obviously, this would not be a setup for spinner/bucktail baits. Thanks
