The clips with the 90* out turned arm are 100% Breakaway designed by Nick. These were designed for use in Nicks IMP bait rigs clip down system. They were never intended for plug fishing. The 90* arm was designed to allow for the plastic piece to rotate through the clip. Please don't use these for pluging they "will" fail.
Our "Backlash Sportfishing" clips were designed for plug fishing. We had the arm turned out to allow the easy attachment of plugs and bucktails in the dark.
The Breakaway clips were designed for cliping bait rigs equipped with barrel swivels to shock leader for quick on and off swaping during tournaments.
I have included two photo's from Breakaway UK's web site to depict their intended use.

For some good photo's for use with plugs, check out Tattoo's photo page and look for an October product review on Hogy's web site.
Have a great fall run.
