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

Karl, you may be on to something there. I do remember recently having one that was a little bit bent but I'll never know because that particular clip disappeared along with my tiger needle to a large bass when the line broke. It's a reminder to me to always check my line especially at night, but when you are busy catching it's hard to stop.

NIB, no problem for me on penils, but some poppers can be difficult with a cupped face.

TT, I tie the leader to the clip, never had a problem before. Why would I want a micro swivel added? it can slid up and off easier than the thru wire on a plug I would think.

Flap, I almost always use the large size. Only time I use the smaller one is when I am throwing light stuff like those small poppers in the harbor.

Milo, that is one in a million but then again the Indians used bones as hooks so I guess it can happen.

I think it was just bad luck and the striper gods needed more of my plugs

I don't know Steve, must be related to a ponud

I can't help it if I have fat fingers and sticky keys on the keyboard

What do you say we take our skiffs out to the Race point? we can always keep going and try for bluefin

You know what they say , guys with fat fingers have....fat ponuds!!

Why the clips? Why not just coastlocks? Pinch the little loop with your needlenose. they will never come off. Not even with poppers or penils.
