swivels

[bass_in_ice]

how many of you guys use swivels above spoons or jigging raps? i know it helps with line twist. i havent used swivels before on ice and have caught lots of fish on spoons but only caught one fish all last ice season on a rap. i think its time to tie in a swivel.

just a good barrel swivel about 2 ft up and i use quick snaps ,quick clips at the jig for quick change

Same here. Get a good (smallest you can find) barrel swivel, tying about 2 feet up. Then I use the the "No-Knot Fast Snaps" to attach jigs/lures (http://www.cabelas.com/swivels-snaps-clevises-knot-fast-snaps-2.shtml).

Using forceps to hold the snaps helps when changing jigs/lures.

just seen on the in-fisherman ice fishing guide show they now have a clear barrel swivel they were using about 18" above their jiggin raps n spoons........they were also using the fast snaps as stated above

also saw a kool trick of them using those fast snaps on the bottom of their jiggin raps n puppet minnows so they can change hooks or or pull the treble off and then slide a minner head on the shaft of the treble so it wont fall off and when the fish hits it theres no way they wont get hooked

Sounds like a pain in the butt when its butt arse cold out, but that's a great idea. Thanks for sharing, Ryno.

Actually they were using Fastach Multi-Use Clip.
