Been using the breakaway 50's plugging quite a while now .. Never failed me yet on a fish or lost a plug . I like the quick ,,no hassle changing of plugs ,. I think some are tieing them on and using them backwards . I've had brand new hooks open up on fish ,,,clips are good .

I agree with you Tagger....I think folks tie those Breakaways on backwards....I have almost done it myself a time or two! Its easy to do because unless you are paying 100% attention...both ends look almost alike! I also think if you are seeing alot of action, on occasion those Breakaways can turn around on you with the line sliding from one end to the other....so you have to check them once in awhile. I have never had a problem with them! I frequently change my offering and feel its alot safer than tying a new knot as often as I would have to....now there is where you increase your chances for failure in my opinion.....tie more knots and eventually one may let you down. Just my .02 cents.

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Larry hit it right on the head. I use breakaway clips only and have never had one fail me. Ease of changing is always important when you have bad hands. I cannot open a snap due to arthrius and the breakaway is fine. The only time I use a swivel is when the jig is acting strange like coptering, or if I tie a fluro leader to my mono leader. Oh - I only fish conventional.

OK, big shot, let's settle this here and now. Winner owes the loser a plug.  Is this right or wrong (Brockton guys can't vote)? |

Hmmm...I have been tying them on for years like that. The Breakaway guy showed me. He must be wrong too! Well, since I am used to it and have never had one loose a fish for me might as well just keep doing it wrong.    |
Why even try.........
