Another newbie question here, sorry if it a stupid one!!
I saw some "snap connectors" whilst browsing on fleabay. Here's a link if you don't know what I mean.

2 x Mustad 77145 Snap Hook/Fly Hooks x25 on eBay (end time 16-Nov-09 08:59:59 GMT)

These seem a good idea, especially when the weather is cold and knots are difficult to tie with numb fingers.

Are they any good? Do people use these?
Thanks for the advice/help
Gary.

ive found them useless but if you want some pm me your address I have two boxes, sizes 2 and 3. totally free.

I found them useless.

I feel they are OK if you are using lures etc, but as for anything else, such as dry fly and delicate work, I am not a fan.
They can be damned fiddly as well.

Thanks again.

Big time!!
Tried them a few times and I reconed using them actually cost me fish.

Afraid I binned them.

I'm going to buck the trend and say that I think they are very good, esp' for droppers (no need to keep cutting back each time you change a fly). I suffer with mild arthritis in my fingers and they help a lot - I've never considered myself as less than fully able bodied (unlike some would suggest):

I have caught carp to 20lb+ whilst using them so I'd say they are strong enough.

Me too.

It is possible that, in some sizes, for some sizes of fly, they work very well - but mine went to the bottom of a disused drawer and will not be seen again this side of an estate clearance.


I'm reminded of the Colman mustard story - they said that the profit was made on the bit left on the side of the plate.
