I've been using the small ones for 3 years with No Problems at all - until last week when a 5LB blue somehow bent the wire a little.

Big clip for anything bigger than an ounce. The big clip will kill the action on a 1 ounce bomber.

I have total confidence in the 80# clip.

All Star 1209, Saltiga with drag almost locked, 65# braid, 5 knot current, 33 lb fish, pulled maybe 6 feet of drag the whole time it was on, and the jig in its jaw exactly where a Duolock would have been trashed in less than 5 seconds. I'd say Nick has a winner there.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

i'll confirm that. i've been using the small clips all year on 1-2 oz. plugs. no problems. may switch to the big ones for some 3 oz. pluggage.
