What size are we all using? I cant for the life of me remember if I've bought the 60# or 80# ones in the past. 80# is FL-1 and the 60# is SL-1. I wanna order these puppies up, so help me please :eek:

Mostly use #80s, except with small stuff.

Tie direct and save the money.:boots:

i like the 80's on most occassions.

I've been using the small ones for 3 years with No Problems at all - until last week when a 5LB blue somehow bent the wire a little.

ive,d been using the 80 lbs. for a couple years now.
FL- 1 80 # -------SL-1 50# .

Thank ya's very much :)

Big clip

Big clip for anything bigger than an ounce. The big clip will kill the action on a 1 ounce bomber.

What action.

I have total confidence in the 80# clip.

All Star 1209, Saltiga with drag almost locked, 65# braid, 5 knot current, 33 lb fish, pulled maybe 6 feet of drag the whole time it was on, and the jig in its jaw exactly where a Duolock would have been trashed in less than 5 seconds. I'd say Nick has a winner there.

What action.

???????

They don't swim with the big clip.

I use the fast link at the end of my braid so I don't have to cut it as often, and tie a leader with a spro heavey and then i can either tie direct to the mono or use the spin link or fast link depending on what im fishing.
i carry several of each leader with me and then its a quick change, especially when the bloos come in.

Big clip for anything bigger than an ounce. The big clip will kill the action on a 1 ounce bomber.

i'll confirm that. :kewl: i've been using the small clips all year on 1-2 oz. plugs. no problems. may switch to the big ones for some 3 oz. pluggage.

Big one it is, thank you for your timely response.

I retrieve a bomber so slo I get a few more grey hairs on every cast.
I basically just comes in floating on top.
I only use the breakaway clips with jigs. I prefer to use either size 34 or 35(mostly 35 the bigger one) cross locks. I round the working part of em with jewelrs pliers(round).
There have been issues with the breakaway clips coming offa the plugs.Like with Pencil Poppers if a fish hits with the plug sideways.It'll slip right off just the way it goes on.If a fish has the plug in his mouth an turns the right (wrong)way the same thing could happen.

Never had a problem with the small ones, use em all the time.
