I like breakaway snaps. I use the smaller size and hardly ever change them. My experience has been that I lost way more fish with snaps than clips. Snaps were so bad I tied direct for years but that costs you fish because you stick with a single plug too long. I've lost two small fish in about 6 years to clip failure. Sooner or later I expect to lose a good one, but so what.....I lose them all sorts of other ways....and expecting to land everything you hook takes a lot of fun out of fighting fish.
