What does everyone use to connect line to lures? Split rings or Snaps??
I have been toying with the idea of split rings. Other than it taking longer to change baits I can't see any other cons for split rings. Maybe it was just one of those errant thoughts.

thanks for the input,,

After messing around with it to test strength, I'll be using the new snap called the fast-tach.

I've seen a few guys really talking this one up. It'll be interesting to finally get my mitts on them.

On my favorite baits or very expensive ones,I use a direct heavy splt ring.On other lures I use a Stay Loc snap in size 5 or 6. Those fast tach connectors have yet to prove themselves to me, so I will remain true to what has worked for me.You can do a search and find a vid demonstration.they are pretty neat,just not for me...

Stealth Tackle was making some fluoro leaders with these clips, for availability check at http://www.stealthtackle.net

i'll be using these guys all year long and have very high hopes as to their durability!

I have been using some snaps called The Duke Snap. Absolutely incredible. I used the same 4 snaps all year last year without any issue. I am a bait changing freak at times too. The original Stay Loc usually lasts me a month tops. I fish from March to December. I am going to tie up 4 new ones this year but really can't see anything wrong with the ones from last year.
