Jointed Lure Storage??

If you guys are like me , bringing a giant jointed pikie or any large jointed plug is a problem. Where to put it when rock hopping. Bag? no bag I know will handle 10+" plugs. I 've come up with crazy idea of a 2 piece plug. Why not where the joint is make this detachable. Now both halfves fit into plug bag. Realistically w/ 8" tubes thats a mighty long plug ,16" . Now comes the part where how to make a strong quick disconnect. Taking the word in context "Quick" and think of a Breakaway/Fast clip to attach the 2 parts. I figure I've caught some nice fish w/o a hitch. Heck if they hold up to the pressure of a fish pulling I don't see any difference. It probably require resessing the wire loops to keep the joint too far apart. I haven't tried this yet but I will make up a mock up using the 50 + 80 lb. clips. I also see the new fast clips have a section that protrudes away from the wire. This might also facilitate even an easier assembly. I may be in another world with this thread but it's winter and I love being in the dungeon finding my sanity during this dismal winter season.
