[cool][#0000ff]I have seen them, and I think they are a good idea for fishing deeper, without a permenant weight attached to your line. However, having had experience with other snap release line attachments (planer boards) I can assure you that you will dread the moment when you have to quit fighting the fish with the rod and use both hands to release the snap. Lots of fish are lost if they get slack at the wrong time...or if they make a surge and there is no forgiving rod and drag.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I suppose much of the advantage would lie in what kind of fishing one does. I do not troll from my tube. First of all, I don't got the speed and stamina. Second, most of my fishing is either casting, vertical jigging or slow kick bottom bouncing. If you were rigged with an electric trolling motor, then the snap sinker rig would work well for dragging those lightweight spoons and even flies.[/#0000ff]
