BigShot Release Snap

[chris_girard]

I just purchased a bigshot but didn't get the release snap.

I was wondering if any of you guys use the snap and if you think it would be worth getting one.

I just gave mine away. I didn't need it.

Go figure?

MB, I have to start surfing your site more often than I do. Seems like I'm missing out on info.

Oh well.

That sounds like a good idea to me!

I have one and have never used it.
I hope to try it sometime but I don't see a need for it.

Well at least it's not overpriced.

I use mine quite a bit. In fact I extended my pole so I could pull the snubbers back farther. So far in fact the tension needed to hold the snubbers by hand is dreadful. So the quick release is a godsend.

I realized also by reading some of the posts on the buzz here that my modification on the big shot exceeds the safe working limits it was designed for. I haven't broke anything yet. With 4 oz sinker and 20 lb. mono on a large spool real.... over 200 feet!

That's a heck of a generous give away, Butch.

Heck Jerry, it was just being wasted...

My BS has a quick release setup using that snap shackle. By using it I can shoot the BS like a shotgun from my shoulder with repeatable accuracy.

You shoulda entered the drawing, Tom. You'd had a spare, lol.

I rarely use the BS, but when I do I use a quick-release snap. I like being able to tension the BS and aim at my leisure. I bought a similar snap for about 5 bux at Ace hardware. It may not work as smoothly as the version Sherrill sells, but it works well enough for me.
