Doug:

If I could just inquire about why the snap swivels in the fishing kit: convenience, necessity, or ?? If you can tie on a snap swivel, you can tie on a hook. If I understand cord strength ratings, a knot is a weak spot, or at least a potential spot for failure. Using a snap swivel means there is a knot, plus the snap swivel could fail. Why not forget the snap swivels and include two more hooks, or two flies, or something else more useful?

Thanks.
