I think you are just fine using a heavy duty cross lock snap on lipless cranks, I just don’t trust the swivel component on snap swivels. The size 3 cross lock snaps at Barlow’s are all you need. I believe they are rated for 120lbs or so. Be sure to change them out after a while. The snap component does get weaker every time you open it to change lures. this ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ best thing since sliced bread. simple easy bait switch to anything you want. +1 I have use these for many years now and they are great for all hard baits.

The eyelet on the jig is too small for that thick ring to fit through it. I have used Norman Speed Clips for years. I always put a small barrel swivel on them. I just recently started using Norton Quick Twists which already come with a barrel swivel. I have never had either fail on me. Yes, there are some lures that have too small of an eye for the Speed Clips to work with. Be safe, Rayzor 2001 Triton Tx-21/225 Mercury EFI

I enjoy snaps and they come in handy. I can switch out to my soft baits and not worry about shortening my mono leader on the braid.
