Kipper No Knot Fas-Snap Medium 5 Pack PBFMS24

Before you do anything else—i.e., even open the package—get a snap-swivel to hook these onto. You might have to crimp the hook part of the fas-snap so the snap-swivel can hold them firmly. Tie them on while still on the snap-swivel. It will make your life a lot easier.I bought the small version to use for fly fishing. These things are tiny, which they have to be in order to fit the small hole in a fly properly. I lost the first one somewhere on the hardwood floor in the living room. The loop in the fas-snap for the line wasn't entirely closed and the fas-snap jumped off and disappeared. With the second one, I used the forceps I keep in my fishing vest to crimp the loop, and then hold onto the fas-snap while I tied the knot. When I was done with that, I got out a snap swivel and put the remaining three on it. Still haven't found the one that jumped onto the floor, but it probably settled in the seam between floorboards.Went out in the morning on Memorial Day and started out with my spinning and baitcasting rods, but no luck. Switched to my fly rod and a big popper. The fas-snap hooked up great. So much quicker than tying a knot. It was a bit of an unusual day for me because that was the only fly I used all day, so I didn't do the usual swapping out or losing flies. Still, this little thing held onto that popper through three or four pumpkinseed and bluegill, a four pound bass and a whole bunch of smaller bass. And, oh yeah, three or four snags. It was a great trip and I'm going to be using these for a long time. That is, assuming I don't lose them in my tackebox or vest.Not sure why these things are so expensive, comparatively. They ought to come like leader rings—on a snap swivel so that you can tie them on while they're still on the snap.

For light line ice fishing these little buggers are a lifsaver, pretty hard to tie thread sized line with sausage fingers, these are the answer.

So far so good. I am using these to change out lead jig heads and top water hard baits for saltwater fishing trout and redfish. I haven't had any break-offs and I haven't lost any lures. I would recommend using snap-ring pliers to snap it on the first time, but it gets easier after the first time. Also, the eyelet is very small so any line over 20lb fluorocarbon may not fit through the eyelet.

So, it works, just like a remember from back when. However, unlike back when, I need my readers, and needle nose to use them now. Not a problem with the small snaps, but getting old sure sucks. I have 5# power-pro micro-line braid, and with just a snap on the line will blow in the wind like there was only a knot. I am sure a 7# could straighten the small, but I only use the small to fish for bluegills & crappie.

I bought them so that I could switch ice fishing jigs without having to re-tie. I should have heeded the comments that others have noted - the smaller sizes are tiny, appropriate for the smallest fishing flies. I ended up buying all four sizes, and only used the extra large size. The design of the snap makes it somewhat difficult to put on or take off a lure.

If your looking to see what depth crank bait they're hitting on then this if for you. quick and easy change out, have used the small ones for years fly fishing

These fas-snaps work as perfectly for me as they have been working for the past 20+ years that I've been using them. I fly fish, and it's great not having to re-tie every time I want to change from one fly to another. (Which on a normal day is six to ten times.)  Kipper No Knot Fas-Snap Small 5 Pack PBFS24

Way too high priced. Found same in local shop foe half the price. Good product though. Great for fast changing jigs and small lures. 5 stars for the product.
