Fish ? Finder Terminal

[CELLFISH]

for years i’ve been happy wit a Snap Swivel for my baited hooks… at Stella Maris B&T , Richard recommended these snaps for braided or mono lines… not sure if there’s a difference…

gonna give it a try anyway… 2/ $ 1.00, braided, 3/ $1.00, mono… cellfish…

You fished the beach??
I thought you were an offshore guy?
I was thinking and laughing that most people 'round here don't know what cany is short for from your old NE name

Been using the ones like SM recommended for more years then I would like to remember chunking for Stripers while anchored.

Yes there is a differance between them braid will cut their way right through the black ones.

I don't know. I've used the plastic ones pretty much exclulsively both from shore & from a boat. I've never had the braid cut through them. I've had the swivel open on me from time to time but never cut through.

Have a bag full of these type. The ones I have allow you to load the finder without passing line through them. There is a swivel built in that allows you to open the body of the finder & lay the line inside & then close it. That's the part that would occasionally open & you'd lose the whole thing.

Usually used them with eels & clams.

Dont look like a well thought out design.

no problems 99.8% of the time - what I like about it is that you don't have to go cutting off your tackle if you want to change up a hook or something along that line. Allows you a quick change over. You want to try a different color because the fluke don't like what you using - takes about 5 seconds. Instead of cutting the line so you can remove it from the find & then having to rehtread the line back through the finder & retie.

Arent they just for sinkers?

Or balloons, which is what I use them for while rigging for bass, tuna & sharks.

There's NFW I'd depend on them to hold one of those aforementioned species where the hooks must be directly attached to the line...

Im not sure I would trust it holding a sinker

yes - sinker goes on that - your line runs through the center of it with your tackle attached to the line

I know how it works I was trying to figure out how it helped with quick changing tackle when its only purpose is to hold a sinker on the bottom and let your bait flow freely

 

[wader]

Sorry - bad example - you're fishing on the bottom - fish start busting on the top - need to switch to a plug, popper, whatever - much easier to change it out.


I'm old. Takes me awhile these days.

Now Im really confused how does a quick release sinker attachment, attached to a bait rigged setup make it easier to switch to a top water lure?
