go to radio shack. Get yourself some shrink wrap tubing. Cut yourself a small section of the tube. get small diameter. slide tube onto clip as you would a lure. angled bend is on the bottom as you hold the clip. now shimmy that small piece of tube up around the bend at the top. after you clip a lure on shimmy the piece of tubing over the angled portion of the snap. Its just a bit of extra insurance. Personally I did lose a fish on a head shake with them and this will help reduce that. The thing with the clips is that you get soo used to them you dont swap them out often enough. I would never fish a coastlock type clip on two dif trips, but I had been with the breakaways, I guess I got a lil greedy. adding the piece of tubing to form a simple sliding lock and replacing frequently should reduce the fish lost to head shakes. In the fall when I was pretty set on what I was using, I would clip on my plug hold the clip with pliers and hit the shrink tubing with my lighter. The operation itself in type seems more complex than it actually is.

Domination takes full concentration..
