Glow Devils tied directly?

[riverbottoms]

Are Glow Devils tied directly, or split rings or snap for best action?

[Steve Foss]

If I'm tying directly and don't want to sacrifice action, a palomar knot works well. If the lure comes with a split ring, I leave it on, but never add one or a snap. Especially in clear water, the more hardware the more likely a fish will shy away.

Good luck.

would this apply to some of the others
such as the Genz worm and microw minnow?

[Surface Tension]

Bookum Dano, Thats right leave the Genx worm alone. No need for a spilt ring. If theres an eye for the line to tie to in most cases a split ring isnt needed. When theres a lure body with just a hole like a pimple for example then a split ring is needed.
I like that, Bookum dano. Hawaii 50

[Dano2]

is the polemor knot necessary?
what about just the old fashioned regular knot?

Whats a pimple,
would that be similiar to a rap.?

[say_der]

Why do you need a split ring on a pimple? I know they come with them and I leave them on, just curious as to why it can't be tied directly.

Thanks.

The Glow Devil Jigging Spoon comes with a split ring in the nose that is designed to be tied directly to your line. I do however use small “Fas Snaps” on my line if I am doing a lot of changing of colors.

Good Luck

CNY Tim - Hey Jeff - I use the quick clips and Thanks for the glow red glow devil! Caught the biggest perch of my life today 13 7/8" with your product. Flashed with my Power flash with 2 spikes on each treb. I thought I had a walleye on. Thanks!

Dano2,
A palmer knot is only really needed for the braided fishing line or no stretch. Since they have no stretch the knot will pull out if you are tying the normal fishing knot.(trilene, rapala, etc.)
If I am not fishing with super line I will tie just a trilene knot.
never had trouble with them.
