Round, V-shaped or spiral, fishing hooks come in many shapes and sizes. They offer undeniable advantages at the water's edge, yet many of us neglect them.
Easy and practical
The main argument for using staples is clearly their practicality and ease of use (although sometimes...). Indeed, when you regularly change lures, are a beginner and are not necessarily at ease with knots, using this accessory is a real time-saver. What's more, they're reliable, so you don't have to redo a line head that's inevitably shortened after ten or fifteen knots.
Really faster?
Once you've mastered your knots, it only takes a few seconds to tie them. Whereas, and I speak from experience, small staples are sometimes difficult to open and close with our fat fingers (and I'm not even mentioning the case of winter) and sometimes even the section or shape doesn't suit the lure's eyelet. That said, this last argument can also be true with a large fluorocarbon.
Damaged and unchecked leader
Also, when using staples, you tend not to check the condition of your fluorocarbon or knot. Inevitably, that scratched leader will break at some point, on a snag or... on a big fish!
Really reliable?
Are staples really reliable? Yes... As a general rule, but most of us have lost a big fish on a staple that opened during the fight. Like leaders, hooks or knots, hooks deserve to be checked and changed regularly. Having said that, I can't deny that this is a point of weakness, and that a knot is much safer. As proof, there is no such thing as a staple for exotic fishing...
Indispensable for swimming fish and large fluorocarbons
When using swimming fish, the use of a staple gives your lure freedom and a more natural swimming action. In this spirit, this accessory is particularly suitable, but a Rapala knot does the job just as well.
In the same spirit, when using a large-diameter leader, for pike for example, it's difficult and tedious to tie a knot every time you change lure, and the staple becomes almost indispensable. But here again, many anglers have abandoned them in favor of the rapala knot from Kreh or the Perfect Loop .
Soft lures
For soft lures, I can't say that the use of a staple reduces the chances of capture, and in fact I don't think so. But I don't see any point to it.
In fact, a staple won't make any difference to your lure's swimming action and in the event of snags, which are fairly common when fishing on the bottom, it will still save you money and help the environment.
