I have used Coast Lock snaps for a couple of years now without a failure. Tried a few of the Stringese snaps last year and they held up also.

I perfer not to use snaps.
I have split rings on all of my baits.
It is very easy to remove your leader from a split ring and put it on another. On my light stuf I use 69# wire for a leader and don't even need a split ring pliers, just a thumb nail.
I would certainly hate to loose a fish from a sanp failure, and it would probably be biggy. It would haunt me the rest of my life.

The best Snap on the market is the Stringease Stay-Lok Snap! www.stringease.com

I'm with JoMusky on this one. This year I am going to switch to all split rings. I did a little of it last year but still used some snaps. The snaps I did use were all Coast Lock. They seemed to hold up. The thing I don't like about snaps is that they do fail from time to time. I am much more confident with the split rings. God bless.

The "Duke Snap" from Amery WI if you can still find them. Nicest snap design you will ever see. Not made anymore as "Duke" passed on a couple of years ago. Still some around if you can find them. No I will not sell any of mine. Too hard to come by.

Split rings all the way. I've been doing it for three years and never even think about losing a fish because of a failed snap.
