Its sounds like more than what it actually is. You're looking at typed out instuctions. I'm shooting for accuracy her :hihi: Takes just a couple seconds. Just about the same as fighting, a spro clip while taking waves to the face on a bar at a moon tide! GAWD I love it is it time yet!

Not remotely. A clip made out of that would weigh about a pound!

I swear by the breakaway clips, just the thought of them makes me want to buy more in bulk. :hihi:

Surprisingly, the only thing I dont like about them is something not mentioned: When I'm walking down the beach(to avoid the crowds of course =)), The breakaway cannot be attached to a guide, at least not with ease, when a lure is off. In some situations, I dont like to show what I'm using so I have the plug off and the duolock is perfect for attaching the line nice and tight to the guide.

you don't have to attach the clip itself, just loop it thru the guide , then form a loop with the line and pass it onto the clip like you would a plug. take it off the same way in reverse, simple. ya just need 2 hands to do it.

I just attatch it to the line.

A strightened clip or hook is not the fault of the product if the product is of quality, whenever I straightened anything out it was my fault. Too much pressure, lack of patience etc, big fish on in a spot where I should have been using much Heavier gear. 99-9/10% of the time it's the andlers fault pure and simple.

That's right. I've fished my entire life, and many of my buds say I fight a fish like an old lady. I could count on less than one hand all of the straightened hooks/snaps, though. Actually, you learn to fish locations and use techniques that present minimal potential for gear failure. With that said, I still like the coast lock snaps best as they are easier to work with IMO.
