Hundreds of Snap are selling by various maker. Mainly we can divide 3 different groups.
We explain good points and bad points of each group.
(1) QUICK SNAP: VALLEYHILL QUICK SNAP, OWNER CULTIVA QUICK SNAP, OWNER TAIRIKI SNAP, DECOY V-SNAP, SIAM SPOON CROSS SNAP
◎ Good Points
・Very quick for setting and releasing for lures.
・The price is cheap.
・Vey light.
◎ Bad Points
・Sometimes the lock automatically open and we lose lures.
・The strangeness is not enough for big fishes.
(2) CROSS LOCK SNAP: GAMAKATSU ONSOKU POWER SNAP, XESTA HARD LOCK SNAP, DAIWA SW-SNAP
◎ Good Points
・The lock is very strong so we can use even for jigging from the boat.
◎ Bad Points
・The weight is heavy so sometimes it disturbs the action of lures in light weight.
・Setting lures is difficult for some kinds of small lures.
