I saw these at Alberto's table at the show in Barrington a few weeks back. They have slightly pointed tips instead of round. The reason was that it focuses the pressure to the exact middle thus stopping a fish from applying pressure that could slide the hook up and off the clip. I have never had one fail but I could see how it would happen even with small fish, but only if the forces were just right. That said, I did not buy any clips as I have plenty of the breakaways. He also was showing some nice prints and hinted at some new personally branded gear down the road, clothing and lures.
He is a super friendly, helpful guy who is very enthusiastic and has caught a big fish or two. It was obvious he had corporate or presentation background as he was good at putting powerpoint slides together and how to speak to an audience.
