Used them a lot in the Dakotas for easily attaching / changing out bottom bouncers. They're a lot heavier overall than the standard quick change, I haven't tried for spinners but don't think they'd spin well.

Have heard of some people using these with good reviews:

I tried the dutch fork clevises this year and my advice would be save yourself the headache and dont get them...id like to know how many colorados i saw flutter to their death

 

I think if dutch fork would bend the small wire over like a hook. Might solve the problem

 

Yes i agree about just needing a slight bend or something. pulling #5 and 6 colorados they will open then clips right up and if they dont, the net will when the blades are wraped up a little...i like the design and are easy to use but not much fun loosing 6 or more blades a day

 

I agree on the dutch fork clevis. Every time I pulled a line in my blade was gone or in the open position. I solved this problem by bending the top wire up, then bending the hook sideways. Didn't use it yet, but if I pull on the blade by hand I can't get it to open up.

leadcorebean,
How would these work with say a # 5 or # 4 blade under them?
Thanks,
Ron

Plus 1 Thanks. Tired of losing good blades!

 

The duo lock slides displayed are what we used trolling for Kings on the Kenai River. Jet divers are used instead of lead sinkers to prevent snagging the bottom. Four persons with lines in the water are in trouble when a snagged line happens with the river current. The jet divers are attached to the sliders as a sixty pound king creates a lot of drag on the jet and the free sliding jet minmizes that drag. With a $13 Kwikfish, jet diver, heavy duty snap awivels on your line, it gets expensive to snag up four lines on a tree stump. jet divers do not sink to the bottom of the river as lead sinkers do.
