Bro Ice,

Snap Swivel...

Need something like this-->

The unker shop ada jual ka?

Bro Vw,

Like number 8 one issit? Both side balance and tengah is 45degree holding point?

Bro Vw,
Can get me 2 packs of the snap8?

roger that bro Vw.....

aku punyer stock dah habisssss

Bro Q,
Its meant to pull back the lure when it got snagged ler..

Imagine your lure got stuck and you tried to pull it back and your snap bukak.....

you get back the snap but not the lure....

not about the fish

bro Ice,

Practically right...

For wild fishing esp with loads of snags, we usually use
1. 30lb and above
2. 50~60lb leader

Still the best chance to retrieve back your lure from the snag...

Comparo to normal snap where it will open easily, with stronger snap you have higher chance of getting back your lure

Bro Q,
Most of the time the standard hooks are using besi type, thus opened up easily

We mostly use carbon and 3x stronger hooks...in such hook will hardly opened up and most of the time the line burst before the hook will open

Bro Q,
You are right....but do you believe that the snap is 100lb snap as stated on the labels....?

If it's really 100lb, i believe you have to excrete more than 100lb in order to open the snap to fit your lure in..

In short higher poundage snaps have higher percentage of getting back the lure.... dont you agree?


FOR EVERYONE
In luring, sometimes the snap too big will hamper the lure's action...

Imagine, if you are using a 2inch lure and the snap is 1 inch.....be it walk the dog or divers, will definitely out of the original suggested action....

Also, in luring, try to have a rounded end so that the lure can swing freely. Try not to use the haruan snap for lures...due to the pointy end, the lure is not able to swing freely.

If using split ring the whole rig will be come heavy and will hamper the action liao...

Imagine
1. Mainline -> Leader -> Swivel -> Split ring -> lure

Compare to
2. Mainline -> Leader -> Snap(w/o swivel) -> lure

Sometimes due to the size and shape of the swivel, your lure action runs tremendously. That's why Laurie Rapala tie direct to the lure...

that's why opted for aluminium boat...

but no place to put ler...

that guy just called me....kekekekek

Bro Fookie,
Just get a new drag pad and add in nia..

The part that i dont like the reel is about the handle...Bro Ice is right, it rubs against your thumb and will cause blister when jigging...

Bro Q,
That reel is not that big ler...even Bro Chun's Applause is filling in near 200m only ler...also size 4000

Shimano size 4000 is also filling up similar to Ryobi what...

Best is to get Daiwa....my Cy4000 fills in 300m of 40lb TUF line....damn syiok
