Snaps and lure locks for quick lure changes

Snaps and lure locks make changing lures fast and easy.
At Jahikala we help you choose snaps that are strong enough for your fish and still easy to use.

If all the sizes, shapes and strength ratings look confusing, that’s normal.
Ask us anytime and we’ll turn the technical talk into simple, clear advice.

What are snaps and lure locks?

What are snaps and lure locks?
Snaps (lure locks, clips) are small metal connectors between your line and lure.

They let you swap lures without tying a new knot every time.
You clip the snap open, change the lure and you’re ready to cast again.

Good snaps are strong, secure and don’t open by accident.
That’s why it’s worth choosing proper fishing snaps instead of random keyrings.

How to choose snaps and locks?

How to choose snaps and locks?
Start with your target species, lure weight and line strength.

Smaller, finer snaps are enough for light perch and trout lures.
For pike and heavier baits you need stronger snaps with higher breaking strain.

Look at size numbers, kg rating and the shape of the snap.
If you’re not sure what that means in real life, tell Jahikala what you fish for and we’ll suggest concrete sizes and models.

Snaps, swivels and leaders – how to combine them?

Snaps and swivels are often used together.
You can use a snap with built-in swivel, or a separate swivel with a snap tied below.

For spinning and predators many anglers use a leader with a snap at the end.
That way you protect your line and still swap lures easily.

At Jahikala you’ll find snaps, swivels and ready-made leaders in one place.
We can help you build a clean, simple system that fits your style of fishing.

Very heavy or stiff snaps can affect action, especially on small lures, so it’s important to match snap size and shape to the lure – we can help you choose snaps that let the lure move freely.

Should I always use a swivel with my snap?

Not always – for many lures a plain snap is enough, but for spinners and highly rotating baits a swivel helps prevent line twist; we’ll help you decide when a swivel is useful.
