One of the important things to learn in lure fishing is how to be able to change your lures quickly. If you had used the normal way of tying the leader straight to the lure, changing lures can be down right difficult. It is also something that you wouldn’t want to do too often, with the hassle of tying and retying.

Although good effect can be had if the leader goes to the lure via a Rapala Knot, the trade off of doing something else is better. The Rapala Knot is indeed good for freedom of lure action, but when time to change the lure, you would need to cut and retie again. That something else is to tie the leader to a small swivel, and then to a rounded snap.

Be careful in choosing the snaps as those that are not rounded, but have an angled edge to it will not work well. The kink in the snap will hinder the lure action. That is something that we don’t want. Therefore, go for the better quality snaps with the rounded edge.

.

Also try to use the smallest possible swivel and snap pair. When using smaller lures, downsize it according. The whole setup has to be balanced for the lure to work properly.

With this technique, you could do a lure change every few cast rather effortlessly, improving your fishing session which fishes are finicky and may only go for a certain lure. Therefore, changing lures and trying everything in your tacklebox may just save the day.
