Robert P Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Which do you guys prefer? R bend wires like on all the mass manufactured spinnerbaits or the Looped wire type? Bob Raptor Premium Spinnerbaits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jude Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 LOOP! (I use a snap.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rich mc Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 I prefer the loop as well braided line doesn't slip down .a lot of times I slap the lure to lose the weeds which causes the knot to move rich mc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Ferguson Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 I also prefer the loop so I have the option of using a snap or a steel leader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike G Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 R When I tie direct, which is most of the time, I like the R because it can untangle itself if the line loops around the spinner arm. And it is a little more sleek going through junk. I use a looped eye when using a wire leader for toothies. Or I close off the open loop of the R by slipping a skirt collar over it or wrapping the gap with thread ending with a wip finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Buric Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Loop because I mostly use a snap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev-mo Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 I guess loop as I usually use a snap. Although with the R I can use something to close it (tubing, wrap it, etc.). Once that loop is there you can't open it back up provided you wanted to for whatever reason... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffreyB Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Definitely a loop (though it's tough to find it on a lot of the smaller spinnerbaits). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe R Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 No brainer. Loop. No idea why any manufacture wouldn't have a loop. Since I have LADD (Lure Attention Deficit Disorder) I'm always switching up presentations so I use snaps excluslively with exception of some cases where I want to direct tie onto some presentation like a jig/grub where I know I'm specifically targeting smallies and that rod would be dedicated for that purpose. For the R spinner baits I dont use them as is.... I tie wire around them and make my own loop. Hassle it it is but needs to be done. If your throwing spinner baits that's an example where you're apt to be tossing other things also that day...inline spinners, crankbaits, top-water, etc so you are probably rigged with a snap.
