30#'s? a sampo snap holds more than that! I just put it in my bench vise, made a loop in one end. Stood in the loop putting all my weight (193#), it did not even flex or even appear to want to open.

I will admit I just purchased these clips. I have some with larger stainless clips on board now and they appear stronger but I wanted something smaller than the carabiners I have seen because the larger clips don't work on some of the smaller setups I have. I have had to wrap them around the reel/rod and clip to the line.
The max drag I fish with is probably 40# my heaviest "strike" drag I use is 29#. I don't use or even own 130's. fish mostly 50w's and smaller, (80w's is the largest gear I use and they rarely see action) I tend to fish lighter stand up gear.

But I hear what you are saying, I may move up one size for the hellofit
