Yeh, there are a few on the market specifically for lures....just cant think where I had seen them recently.

If/when I remember, I'll let you know.

Perhaps look at the classifieds in one of the angling magazines, might find something in there maybe aswell

Hi Ya Derek,

just use a small strong clip swivel shouldn't hamper the lure too much.

I could be wrong though! As rare as that is! :D

I use the clips from Hiro. These have no swivels and work a treat.

Jim Hendrick recommended these to me recently:

The Hiro ones are also good but their shape can make them diffiuclt to get into the loop on poppers with a deeply concave nose. (That's the lure's nose, not mine.)
