Seen'm havent nor will I try them. Just to flimsy and the return wire after the turn too short imo.

break-aways

Break Aways out with 150#'s now

I'm going to go against the grain and state that I got a pkg of these to try out and they are very interesting.

What appears not that strong may indeed be much stronger because there is only a straight pull.

I will try them this spring however I do have about 500 backlash clips that work fine and I will use.

The design of those clips is stolen from Breakaway.

Breakaway for many years has sold "Split Oval" snaps.

I should add these clips are the only "shockleader to sinker" clip approved for competition in Sportcast USA casting tournaments and are supplied to contestants.

I'll stick with the breakaways thanks. Never had an issue with one.

Actually the design was a variation of Rosco scissor snaps. They have been making them for years

bobber 02-24-2009 11:25 AM

yeah- looks like a McMahon snap........ they're kind of a pain in the ass to use. I'll still tie direct......I like my knots
