Adding Snaps to Your Baits

Do you guys add snaps to your swimbaits? If so what kinds do you use and for which applications?

I know that Castaic says no snaps should be used for plats and I've heard that it can hinder the performance of a Hudd. Is it more of a hard bait modification?

no i don't.
I can't see it hurtin that much on larger baits.
If it alreadyhas a spit ring, I would take it off and use the snap. Just make sure it is heavyduty.
I figure if the lure maker doesn't put a split ring on it, tie direct.

The truth is I´ve never seen a soft plastic swimbait with a snap, but in hard baits a lot of them come with a snap.

I like snaps a lot. I use them if the lure originally have it or instead of the splitring

These are the big ones. I use them the floaters and the swim/crank/bait lures.
