Clip leader to spoon?

[jcon12]

Anyone run multiple leaders pre tied at various lengths with a swivel on either end then just use a clip to attach the leader to spoon?

I have always tied my leaders to the spoon but on my recent trip to Nootka I noticed some guys running clips for a fast swap out.

I always imagined that the additional terminal at the lure end would look unnatural ?

I like the idea of just storing multiple leaders and keeping the spoons stored separately with no like to tangle tho.

Yes swivel at flasher end
Duo-lock snap at spoon end.
Simply open the snap and change your spoon

Yes, I use a small coast lock (60 lb test) BB swivel to attach to the spoon end on a pre-tied spoon leader.

I’ve always run a swivel at each end of my leader. I thought running without a swivel was a thing lol.

Been using this for years. Fish don’t seem to care. Check my leader and knots after you land a fish and re-use as many times as I can. There was a thread on this topic a few years ago. Maybe you can do a search. Lots of good info in there.

I find the spoon develops a much livelier action on the snap as well.

Spoon leader quick change

Was reading another post and am under the impression that some may use a snap or a snap swivel on the end of their leader so they can quickly change out spoons. Anybody doing this and how have the results been? Thought of this to keep the box a little less cluttered with leaders tied to a...

Wait... are you telling me that putting the snap at the end of the leader and not having to have a leader tied to each individual spoon is effective??? I always figured this was taboo, would not work, screw up action, etc. Man, this would make life so much simpler! I guess I best try it.

Now, to figure out how to just snap directly to hootchies!

I just straight tie. I personally don't think small differences in leader length matter, but that's just me. Your mileage may vary of course,

I was already thinking this lol. Maybe pre-tie with a short length of line with your hooks and an overhand knot. Then just clip to that. F*ck me this is blowing my mind.

Once you do it you'll never go back.
Leader is always the right length.
Spoons clip on and off in seconds.

As long as no one comes near me with them frickin Hawaiian snaps. Send em all to hell, maybe someone there can work 'em.

What about doing the same with plugs?

What’s the difference between a Hawaiian and a Macmahon snap? I’m with you tho they are so hard to open but people seem to love them…

On a plug a knot can be positioned to make it dive,
I'm not sure it would work so well ?

I use them and had some issues when cold.
Someone on this board said to put the ring or whatever you are snapping to right at one of the ends, push it in or out with a squeeze. Works like magic every time now.

Scott can you show us a pic of the prefered spoon snap rig?!

Great idea! I was wondering what I was going to do when plastic straws are no longer available. This is the half the solution.
