Come on now, I'm not buying this at all. The Angry Man uses them and I've never heard him mention any issues.

Seriously though, I have heard a few other reports of straightened clips but overall a lot of happy users.

I'm sticking to my Rosco Coastlocks though.

I had one go bad, think it just lost it's tension.. Slip had some trouble with them too, I remember.
I still use them, just change them out a little more frequently.

I had read a few people had issues with fish being able to back the plug off the snap, when doing a head shake.
I like em and feel more confident w/ them over any other snaps Ive used
