To snap, or not to snap?

You? Sounding smart? Never...

As far as straighteneing snaps, I had it happen enough on the duo-locks and cross-locks to make me look for another alternative. That was what brought me to try the Breakaways. I heard some very good things from several respected members of this site on them, and have not turned back since I started using them. So far I have only straightened one of the smaller clips, and that was on a jig attatched to a rock. The only lure I have not been able to use the breakaways with is a tin. The large amount of metal around the eye hole does not lend towards the use of the Breakaways. I have tried to put a split ring on the nose of some tins, but they usually get bent out of shape. I keep a couple duo-locks on hand now for when I throw tins.
