Been using the Breakaway clips for years and btw....the same clips! I keep using them until they may show a sign of bending out which almost never happens! I have not bought new clips in about 4-5 years! Just have to make sure you tie onto the right end and check them periodically to make sure the line does not slide to the opposite end which can happen! I have always said these clips are great but why not have a closed end where the line ties on?? THIS IS NOT TO SAY ANY OF THIS HAPPENED TO YOU DENNIS AND I AM SURE IT DID NOT....JUST FOR OTHERS WHO MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR WITH THESE TYPES OF CLIPS!
