Using a clip with worm hook/soft plastics/tube baits/ etc? Is it a No No?

[DonV]

Getting ready to put together some tackle for this coming weekends M&G on the Upper Potomac and have a question.

Anybody use clips when fishing worms/soft plastics/craw type baits and or tubes?
I'm not Texas or Carolina rigging just have an assortment of weighted and unweighted worm hooks. Usually try to cast just weightless but it would be nice to have the ability to quickly switch to different weighted hooks when conditions demand without having to retie every time. Same question with tube baits?

I have some of the tactical anglers power clips and it sure would be nice to be able to switch lures quickly but I don't want to screw up my chances of catching.

Anybody do it? Does it adversely effect the action of the lures? I'm going to sit back and wait for the experts to chime in.

My preference is to use clips with plugs but always tie direct with the plastics you mention. A fishing buddy of mine always uses a clip no matter what lure he uses (except flies). We fish for everything we can in MD and some days he out fishes me, YMMV.

I agree. I put swivels and clips on just about everything except crank baits. Might change my mind when wacky rigging
