When should you not use a swivel for fishing?
Fishing:
The best rule of thumb when deciding whether to use a swivel or steel leader is to decide if the line will be twisting during the retrieve of a lure or the playing of the fish. Most lures, such as a crankbait, will not twist on the retrieve, so a swivel is not required.
Do swivels scare fish?
Swivels:
Although snap swivels can save you time, they’re too big and bulky and will most likely scare off the fish either by their unnatural look, or just their presence in the water Sure, you might catch a few young, naive, aggressive with it, but if you want to maximize your chances of catching fish, it’s not a
good idea
.
What is the
neko rig
?
The Neko Rig is a relatively new phenomenon in the
bass community
. Basically, it is a
weighted version
of a wacky rig with a weight inserted into just one end of the soft plastic, giving the bait a
unique action
as it falls and allows it to stand straight up once it hits the bottom.
Shaky Head: What is a shaky head
A shaky head jig is a lightweight leadhead , with 1/16 to 1/4 ounce sizes being the most common. This ball-shaped jig is coupled with a light wire bass-style hook, making the use of finesse plastic baits a reality.
Texas Rig: What is a Texas rig in fishing
The Texas Rig is a technique used for fishing soft plastic lures It involves a bullet weight being threaded onto the line first followed by an
optional glass
or plastic bead, and then the line is secured to a hook, usually an offset worm hook. Very good for bass fishing.
Head Shape Matter: Does jig head shape matter
The wider football jig heads are good for a really slow retrieve because they’ll let your bait or lure sit upright on the bottom Thinner jig heads are better for swimming your baits through the water because they’re more streamlined.
Best Color Jig: What is the best color jig for bass
Green pumpkin, watermelon, and other related
natural colors
are excellent choices. If fishing dirty or stained waters, it helps to use a black and blue combination. Certain jigs often imitate bluegill and shad with color matching.
Fishing Line: Why use a swivel on a fishing line
The main purpose of the swivel is to allow the two line sections to rotate independently of each other , which allows self-unwinding of any twists formed during line casting and retrieval, preventing undesirable tanglings.
Should you use a swivel with a leader?
Leader:
The ideal place to have a swivel (if you’re going to use one) is at the top of the leader … away from your lure/hook. This allows for the swivel to be on the line to absorb line twists from the bait without being an unsightly bulk right next to the bait that can cause more fish to get spooked.
Can you attach a hook directly to a swivel?
Swivel:
Attaching fishing hooks directly to a snap swivel won’t impact your fishing experience too much However, there are a few factors you’ll need to consider like does the fish scare easily, will it change the bait’s presentation and action, and your ability to get a good hookset would contribute to your overall decision.
Should I use a swivel with a spinner?
Spinner:
We do not recommend attaching a spinner directly to a swivel Most fishermen use a swivel that is way too big and this can interfere with the action of the lure. If you are set on using a swivel, we recommend you tie a very small top quality ball bearing snap swivel to the end of your main line.
