Default Snaps/clips

For the past few months I have been experimenting with the duolock snap. If you aren't familiar with it, it looks similiar to a coast lock snap swivel with out the swivel.

I decided to try them because I was tired of spending a lot of time tying knots while fishing. When fishing for specks, I change lures often till I start catching fish. Also I like to use a loop style knot so that the lure moves more natually (more action) which takes a little longer to tie than some of the other knots I use.

So far I can't say I've lost a fish due to a failure of one but I find them flimsy and hard to tie on (albiet you tie them less often). So I went looking for other but similar products. I found two - the "no-knot fast clip" and the Norman Lures speed clip.

I'm looking for comments from anyone who has used these devices. Did they work for you, are you still using them, etc.

For those of you who haven't used them but are curious about them, here's a link to a cabela page with all three shown on it.
