Product Information

Full details

The Cox & Rawle Hook Snap #01 is designed for dedicated shore and boat anglers who require a reliable, high-strength connection for their terminal tackle. It allows for rapid changes of weights or rigs without the need to re-tie knots, significantly increasing efficiency on the water. While these snaps provide excellent durability, users should ensure they are rinsed thoroughly after saltwater exposure to maintain the integrity of the black nickel coating over extended use.

FAQs

Can I use these for freshwater fishing?

Yes, although they are designed for sea fishing, they work perfectly fine in freshwater for heavier applications.

How do I choose the right size?

Choose a size that matches your line strength and target fish; #01 is a versatile size, but check your specific rig requirements.

Does the black nickel coating wear off?

Like all coatings, it will wear down over heavy use, but it is highly effective at slowing down corrosion.

Are these suitable for lure fishing?

They work well for lure fishing if you need to switch lures quickly, provided the size does not hinder the lure's action.

How often should I replace these snaps?

Inspect them before every trip. Replace them if you notice any signs of corrosion, bending, or stiffness in the hinge.

Troubleshooting

Snap is difficult to open

Salt or debris may have built up in the mechanism; rinse thoroughly with fresh water and apply a light lubricant.

Snap feeling weak or deformed

If the metal has been stressed beyond its limit, discard it immediately to prevent losing your rig or fish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-durability metal construction for heavy-duty use
  • Speeds up rig and weight changes significantly
  • Corrosion-resistant black nickel finish
  • Secure locking mechanism prevents accidental opening

Cons

  • Requires regular cleaning to prevent salt buildup
  • Metal components can be small and difficult to manipulate with cold hands
  • Size #01 may be too large for delicate finesse applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the snap, tie your main line or leader directly to the eye of the swivel or snap attachment point using a reliable knot such as a Palomar or improved clinch knot. Ensure the knot is seated firmly against the eye. For care, always rinse the snaps with fresh water after every fishing trip to remove salt crystals that can lead to galvanic corrosion. Once dry, keep them in a well-ventilated tackle box away from moisture. Periodically check the closure spring for debris or stiffness; if the snap feels gritty, a light coating of fishing reel oil can help restore smooth operation.
