I have used all but the Duolocks and have been using the Breakaways for a year now and think they are the best as far as ease of use and strength to size ratio (smaller & stronger). I use the smaller, 50 pound Breakaways 95% of the time. They are stronger because they are able to use thicker wire because you don't have to squeeze them to open like the other snaps. You would never be able to squeeze wire that thick without putting a dent in the bone in your fingers.

I also agree with Toby that after looking at the big treble hooks on a plug, the metal or plastic lip on the plug, and sometimes the front split ring, how can a 1/2 inch Breakaway clip spook a bass from hitting the lure. Also, I know many guys still do well on lures with half of the paint scraped off the original color finish.

I've started using the Breakaways on Storm lures and other plastics and so far so good.
