Ive never liked snaps, but most all the lures do better if they free hanging and not tied direct. I went to large splitrings way back, Id consider the oval ones now if they make them big enough. You could probably use a GOOD QUALITY larger saltwater snap, but id be worried about them opening up and the size, I like to keep my baits subtle and not have a huge 2" snap swivel hanging off the front. It wont hurt to try and after a day of tossing you will know if they are ok or not.
