I do know that when I tie to the spinner directly, I need to adjust where the knot ends up after each fish or it will run funny.


I was told by an old guy that fished spinners exclusively and just killed on his lake that you needed to tie directly to spinner period.

I tried various quick connect methods because I didn't want to re-tie every time I switched lures/type of bait.

Everything I tried ended tangled in spinner so I tied direct.

The old fisherman used to take a small piece of waterproof black electricians tape and wrap a few turns in the crook of spinner where you tie on.
Said it enabled the knot to cinch down tight and eliminated adjusting it every cast.

Seems to work, but I'm wondering if there is a way to use some sort of quick connect set-up so you don't have to re-tie every time or worry about line moving on wire?
