Here's some of my fishing laziness. Probably not the best practice, but I like to pre-tie Texas rigs. Flourocarbon for the line (or just mono if you don't have flouro), surgeon's loop to attach to the snap swivel on the main line, and then tie a combination of hooks and weights. Much faster to swap soft baits and sizes if you have fishing lure ADHD like myself.
It's something to do on those stormy afternoons when I want to be fishing but don't want to get struck by lightning. Plus it a soft bait isn't working and is still in good condition, I can leave it on the hook and use it again at a later date when the water conditions are more favorable for that setup.
Even when using swivels or snaps, remember to re-tie them once in awhile since the knot will always be the weakest point in the line.

Kinda just being an ass but at the same time I'm curious if there is a reason.
>>875853At least I gave one good tip.
