breakaway fastlink failure followup

I guess some of those clips are living up to their name - breakaway.
They have to change that name - "stay tight" clips or something.

It's like naming a hook company "Forever Dull" or "Roundpoint".

What were they thinking!

All types of clips fail at some point. Just the nature of what we do.

Yup. Nick Meyer named the company after the bait rigs. They're streamlined so they cast far, and then whatever holds them in place for the cast "breaks away" when it hits the water.

The clips are strong. As strong as any snap I ever used and stronger than most.

On the other hand, he also has a brand of mono that's labeled "Breakaway" and the word is, that truly does live up to its name
