    seen them in FL they were called quick change snap swivels didn't really seem like a good investment. I would think that they would hang on grass and make more commotion when trolling ....Just my thoughts jigging with those might not be too fun either

    I've seen them and used them. For heavy tackle they are probably better than heavy snaps - They cant pull open, and you can't forget to snap them.

    The boat I fished on in Hawaii used them on their 80 class rigs - They worked well - and pretty quick to change out a rig.

    I picked up a few, but haven't used them yet

    Mistakes happen - Snaps don't get closed... Been there - done that...
