Quick take
Quick-change snaps that let you switch flies without retying, in five sizes for trout and panfish.
This is a box of 150 stainless steel snaps in five sizes, 30 of each, running from roughly 0.2 to 0.43 inches. A snap lets you clip a fly, jig or small lure on without tying a knot, so changing patterns on the water goes quickly. The compact box suits trout, panfish and bluegill anglers who swap flies often and want sizes to match.
Best for
- Changing flies frequently throughout a session
- Fly fishing for trout in creeks and small rivers
- Panfish on ultralight tippet
Skip if
- You prefer to knot your flies directly to the tippet for maximum sensitivity
Strengths
- Arc-shaped design holds the fly securely without deforming
- Five sizes cover most fly weights and tippet strengths
- Stainless steel resists corrosion in wet conditions
Trade-offs
- A snap adds a small amount of bulk and visibility compared to a knot
- Requires tying the snap to the tippet first
- XS size is very small and difficult to open with gloved hands
