Breakaway clips and pencil poppers

[BigFish]

I have not had that problem Slip....then again...I ain't been catchin' much!

[Karl F]

was it a fresh one? The last time you and I fished I had one that I noticed was losing its, tension, for lack of a better word... the plugs went on and came off too easy... so I changed it out, nice and tight again.. maybe?

I would bet the natural action of a pencil whips the line around to a position where the clip could be backwards on the hit an slippin the plug off the clip on impact.that sucks I use a big rosco cross lock.I like the breakaways but on some lures they are a pain in the but so I find myself not usin em so much.

Slip have you tried a micro swivel to connect the clip to your line or are you tying direct? Could be that the tortion the fish is putting on the plug and then the clip is actually unbuttoning it.. Just asking, it may help

Bruce I only use the larger size ( 80lbs.) for serious fishing and only use the smaller ( sometimes reported at 30 lbs and then sometimes as 50lbs.) one for schoolie stuff. They are great but before I went to them I only used 100lb. Coastlocks so even eighty ponuds is a bit light and remember(hahahaha) the beach ain't the canal where your using that gorrilla gear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Funny ya mention this Bruce ,I open my clips just a tad with pliers so I can put em on certain plugs easier,and never had a problem ,but last week I caught a fish and when I brought it in the plug was dangling on the line,so I says to myself how in the heck do I still have this fish on?I pick up the leader and the clip was stuck on its lip...go figure
