I think they only come in the packs of 10. Perhaps if you ask a local retailer they might consider a volume discount...

i would be intersted in a bulk source on those too. i found packs of 100, but they were in England and with shipping the price was no better than buying them locally.

What size do you use?

Im going to look into this . One of my buds lives in london, ill have him make some inquiries.
I think a Snood is a "bird" youre trying to "chat up" at the pub and she just wont "pull" because she doesnt "fancy" you .  |

If you're looking for Gemini clips, you can get them from Ron Sutton. My last order was for 100 link clips. I think you can buy in larger quantities.

Tobias,
I went to order $30 worth of gemni clips from that site and I noticed the shipping charge was $27 bucks. 
Did you have to pay that much to ship clips from Georgia?
I did see a small notice that small items like clips would be a shipping charge of 3 bucks but it show up on the checkout page as $27. |

Make sure you talk to Ron Sutton. He'll straighten out the problem. There's a glitch with ordering on the website. I think I was charged only a couple of bucks for shipping. If you have any problems, PM me and I'll see what I can do. I've dealt with him several times and have been pleased with the service every time. Good Luck!

gemini link clips ROCK (thanks Tobias) if you're fishing with larger plugs. EZ on and EZ off, with no latches to open or close, easy to change plugs in the dark.
Right now, Ron Sutton is the only guy I know who stocks them (he has a lot of other nice stuff on his website too). The store is a part-time undertaking for Ron, and as I understand it he fell seriously ill not too long ago and had to close down shop temporarily.
Would be nice to get an S-B sponsor closer to home to order a few thousand of the link clips and the snood clips. I'm definitely in if it can be done.

Why the preference to Gemini clips over the Breakaways? I like the large Breakaways, aside from the name  |

Haven't tried the Breakaways yet but will this year. As for the Gemini Link Clips, I've never had a problem with them and you can use them blind-folded. Faster and easier to change lures than any other snap I've ever used.

Has anyone had trouble with the smaller Breakaway's (35 or 50 pound) breaking or opening up on fish? I use the 80 LB one and would like to downsize if possible but don't want any problems.

JoeP, if the small breakaways are 35lb, than the standard Duolock 56 that eveyone uses gotta be like 15lb snaps. The Breakaways are heavy duty but I still use the 80lb. The 80's are also easier to use at night and some certain plugs are easier to get on the loop
