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.
