Do any duolocks not suck?

[RogersonCrusoe]

Hey guys,
Making up some quick change leaders for the winter season using Scott's (I think it was?) method - leaders with duolocks on the end. Trouble is, that all my duolocks are so stiff that they're frustrating to use and borderline painful.
Any brands you recommend? Or just suck it up and deal with it?

whats a duolock ?

Snap swivels - I have not used them myself but people keep telling me to use the ones from Pitbull Tackle.

Although to be honest, somehow I am not getting the impression that a Pitbull duolock would be the kind that would never bite me.

Coastlocks (with ball bearing swivels, preferably from Sampo, Spro or Owner) over duolocks any day.

I found someone online who sold me a hundred of these they are excellent

And Pitbull as mentioned is famous for selling No Bee Ess terminal tackle

Even to attach to the spoon-end of the leader? Seems heavy to me.

I'm using the hawaiian snaps, yes they can be annoying but they're strong af.

I am using these starting a few months back and I like them

I use the 60-lb test ones and they are very light, just a gram or two. No heavier than the hawaiian snaps that some people use, plus you have an extra swivel to prevent twisting.

Try these, I have been using them now for almost 10 years. They are quick and easy to use, and strong. Never had one fail. PNT has them.

They are the only thing i use....on my flashers as well

same. just stay away from the cheapos. they are the annoying ones. i get mine from Redden Net in CR. stiffer and easier to open which seems backwards but the cheapos are flimsy and rotate in your wet fingers when attempting to open

I have transitioned away from Hawaiian snaps - too hard to open for me. The dual lock snaps I use are really easy to open and never fail. Super streamlined also, so they are aren't bulky as some of larger Hawaiian snaps. I use that s*&$ on everything. Try em

Bought the #2 size (20kg, look like). Excited to try.

Hawaiian snaps are used in hell. Makes sense, only place where fingers are consistently warm enough to successfully operate those @#$!%ing things.

Exactly the issue I alway seemed to have with them. Yes they work great, just not for my feeble fingers.

What’s wrong with a regular old snap swivel?

Had to google what Hawaiian snaps were, but I use the same(always referred to them as McMahon snaps). I don’t find them difficult to use at all... trick I find is to push the bead chain(or swivel) into it versus trying to mash it open with fingers.
