Someone argued with me last spring at a show that this NEVER happens to Breakaways. There you go...

I don't use them anymore, but I've never seen one bent to hell and gone like that.

I've been using those breakaway snaps, both the large and small versions, for a few years now and I've had good luck with them, although I've never caught anything real big that might have tested one. I did notice that the last batch I purchased from Cabelas this past winter seems to a slightly different color than some older ones I've got, makes me think they might have changed the metal composition that they're made of. Anyone else notice this?

Yeah..that worried me too. The last ones I got had a kind greenish tint to them. The old ones were stainless steel color. They look the same otherwise. They both say stainless steel on the package. I wonder if there is a difference?
I think the plug was twisted funny on the side of the fishes head and it put a torque on the snap. I didn't loose the plug but about half way thru the battle it broke free. I wasn't a monster but it was decent. (it was the large snap)

I know the originals were made in England with the finest of stainless.
Maybe China imports now.  |

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
