Snaps, swivels and other Accessories

Every fisherman should have these small supplies with them when they go fishing. There is no point to go fishing with spoons or spinners without reasonable snap swivels, because those lures are twisting the line during fishing. For a tip on the basic use, you can use these accessories for special situations, for example side leaders for sinker lures and diving sinkers.

Be careful with the snaps. Always choose the suitable snap compared to the size of the lure. If a snap is too big, it will kill the sensitive swimming motion of the little lure. Notice, that here in Kuusamo we have designed the snap for the wobbler, which does not have a swivel.

You also have to remember to take care of the lures the same way as the rod or reel. Change new hooks regularly. Sharp hooks will make a big difference in catching fish. Also remember to change old rusty and swirled rings to new ones.

Tip1:
With the help of the casting floats and plastic bubbles, you manage to throw, even a light lure, far. Usually the shoals of arctic char and grayling are far away from the lakes shore up in the fells. You can throw the fly above the shoals of fish with the help of casting floats and plastic bubbles, without these you would not be able to do that. With the help of the casting floats you can also cast with worms.

Tip2:
With the use of weights, gives you extra dimension when fishing. Rod weights are suitable for fishing with worms, also fly fishing to add extra weight to the line. They can be squeezed on to the line using pliers at a suitable position. The Kuusamo weights, which come with a rubber peg are best recommended for trolling. When the lure should be slightly deeper, with the use of rubber pegs, the connection is made without any knots. Sinkers are suitable for casting when river fishing, when the lure needs to be close to the bottom in fast flowing water. You can use sinkers for building lures, when angling close to the bottom. In spring when fishing for whitefish, you can build your tackle by using weights in this way.
