### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Works better for me than spikes.
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2022*

I've played banjo nearly 50 years and have tried spikes and a different type of sliding capo. The Schubb has worked the best for me. Two Gibsons and a Derring all have one.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    The Shubb alternative to hooks
  

*by R***G on Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2015*

I have several banjos and have always used hooks (model railroad spikes) to capo the 5th string at higher frets.  The Shubb slider is not hard to install (with the help of supplied instructions) and if installed correctly provides a good clamping action and a clear sound on the 5th string, unlike the spring loaded sliding capos that were common before the Shubb and, in my experience never really sounded good.  However, even after using the Shubb for a couple of months I am still getting use to working around the bar and the sliding stop piece as I move up the neck.  When installed in the correct position, the slider bar also covers up most or all of the side dots that indicate fret positions, so if you look for those higher frets rather than depend on muscle memory to shift to the correct position you will have to adjust your technique or look at the face of the fingerboard to see where you are going.  The 5th string does stay closer to the correct pitch when using the Shubb than it does when you are using hooks, but small corrections are still needed.  There is a clearer advantage if you want to play in keys that require a higher pitch 5th string (e.g., C or D in G tuning or F and G playing out of a D position) because it is faster and easier than using a hook at the 12th fret and retuning down.  I think some people may find it substantially better than using hooks, but while I am glad I tried the Shubb, I am more likely to go the hook route for banjos I build in the future.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    works like a charm and very accurate once you get used to it.
  

*by G***T on Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2019*

i used to use spikes to capo the 5th string, until i tied the Schubb capo which was over 15 years ago!  i have since used them on all my 5 string banjos, and have set them up on my students instruments as well.
