I've been considering how I might modify the R bend in my spinnerbaits to
allow the use of snaps. Wire ties have been one thought. Hadn't thought of
using rubber tubing. This is why I like ROFB. I think the tubing would
work
better and more consistently than tieing off with wire. Petsmart here I
come.

I'm gonna try the rubber tubing this year. I know it will work well, as I've
cut some tubing and it fits over the bend just fine. But our season is
closed for quite awhile and the ice is a foot thick anyways. Something I've
done in the past is to crimp the bend closed with a pliers. That has worked
out OK, but maybe the SB gurus here will tell me if that was a lousy idea or
not.
