Mike G Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 It seems like a while since we have seen a neat gadget like the Parasite that we saw a while ago. This came to mind when I noticed that the manufacturer of the Chatterbait had replaced the crosslock snap on the bait with this connector. Mustad KVD Fastach Clips. It comes in many sizes. I picked up some size ones at Wally's. It is about right for regular lures and large #4 and up flies where the extra weight is no object. This is great for switching a bait quickly to go back after a follow or short strike. $2 for 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rich mc Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 nice idea. perhaps a retired engineer can twist some up while the ice is still melting? rich mc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev-mo Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Rich, LOL Mike, looks interesting... how much potential does the open design have for a fish do the right twist and shout combo to twist a lure off the clip? Just curious... I've had a few snaps fail on me over the years (only a few) but it is still annoying... I tried the Norman speed clip and that is great for crank baits or closed loop spinners/buzzbaits but it would not work with all my jigs. I checked out the new Z chatter and it seems the Fastach clip has the flat surface of the blade to keep it from twisting off. While it seems unlikely a fish could twist off that was my first thought after seeing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike G Posted March 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Rich, These I would rather buy since they are easy to find at Wally's. Kevin, I have that same concern. I was hoping someone who has used them would tell us. When I look at them, they look a bit like a snap that many of us have used for years on jig spinners. See the family resemblance. Anyway I hope to try them out soon. Retie often anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Weaver Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Where is Wally's located, Mike? I would like to try out these clips, but I'm not familiar with this store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
