It seems it would take a lot of pressure to straighten out one of those clips. We use them in the canal with tremendous pressure on them and they never fail.
I used to do what you did so I could quickly change out my leaders when they wore out, but stopped that.

I used them all season last year and none failed. As Slip said, the pressure we put on fish is tremendous. 50 or 65# braid, maybe 30" of mono leader, heavy jigs, All Star 1209s and reels that can hold 12# of drag all night. My biggest weighed fish of the year (33#) probably didn't run off more than 6-10 feet of drag, in a 4 kt current.
