Don't get the TA hype...

Stronger wire? Great... But I've never had any issue with the Breakaway FL's bending a mm (the SL's are a different story, but I rarely use them). And I wouldn't use either for BFT (just me, I'd rather tie a SD Jam knot to a solid ring and change plugs via splits... but cool that the breakaways can handle it).

The V in the clip, so yo' knots don't slip? Awesome... But tie a good, tight knot on a breakaway and it won't go anywhere.

I also find the TA clips can be a pain to get onto certain plugs, which irritates me in the middle of the night.

Are they a good product? Sure... But IMO not good enough to warrant the extra cost.

Zim, I tie a standard clinch using 60-80 lb mono to my breakaways, using three turns of mono. Never have any issue with breakoffs or slippage.
