In an attempt to do something productive on this total rainout Saturday, I’ve put new fluero leaders on all my reels.
As I tie on jigheads and big nose spinners for use in the next few weeks I started wondering if anyone else uses Mustad Fastach clips in lieu of loop knots. I have a pack (size 3) and am debating using a few.
While I can tie loop knots ok, I’m a bit slower in the kayak. I often want to change paddle tail colors or jighead weights when nothing is workin but my laziness kicks in on re-tying everything. I see the advantages of changing out lures quickly with the Fastach clips. But, are there negatives for using these? Seems the presentation is altered at the front but it’s still able to move better than a simple clinch knot.
Would appreciate anyone’s experience or advice on using these.
