I wish spro would make a snap without a swivel. I think those would be the strongest. The wire they use is really strong but just don't "bend" it to the point of deformation when opening. It will snap!

I am convinced you can not open a breakway IF the knot stays at the bottom of the bend AND the lure does not get fouled on the snap. When this happens, it will bend open fairly easy and stay open.
Stamina has just the snaps w/o a swivel.
