Make Lures changing quicker

[carl2920]

Has anyone used the small clips used at the end of a leader to attach lures ? They would make changing lures quicker and may allow a lure to move around more as the clip should act like a swivel Anyone know what they are called ? Anyone used them ? Thanks in advance

I have used them them on large pike flys they are good in this instance because they remove all the fuss of re crimping the biting trace onto the hook, I cant see the point of them if you are using mono/flourocarbon as a Knot costs FA

how do they work, let's be honest before we dismiss this out of hand, on a cold october morning, re tieing a fly can be tricky, how do these work carl?

can't get into the link as it needs to attach a cookie, and work wont let me. if anyone else can give me an idea I would be grateful.

 

Another advantage would be that your leeder isn't constantly getting shorter, which added to the hastle involved, may mean that you don't change flies when that's exactly what you should be doing.

I agree, I have ordered some so will test them out and report back. They may well allow an extended time on the water as I have given up in very cold weather because my hands were to cold to tie knots.
