I've had quite a few snaps straighten out on me at the lure also, some aren't bent as far over as others...If you question it, you may want to squeeze it a little..but becareful, most snaps only bend so many times before they break, so pick a good stopping point. Another thing to consider is the bass destroying it on you, against a rock in or out of the water...it don't take long....I've also found a defective one in the package while tying one on...rare, but it happened. When you're night fishing, you don't see defects...
I've yet to have a problem with Break-Aways....not that I don't or won't use snaps...depends on what I'm targeting. I don't have the luxury of filling my tackle container with every size/option available...
Sidenote: // Depending on the size of the Break-Away....Some poppers can be a bitchh to slide on a break-away, I guess they do have at least one flaw.
