And it's strong enough not to bend and straighten, even with all that pressure on it.
The clip is the least of my worries when a fish is peeling drag. Mostly, I worry about my leader. That's still the weak link between me and the fish.

I agree, just got in the habit of split rings long before breakaways were around. All my jigs are already rigged with rings so I just haven't tried the breakaways jigging. Funny, I just got off the phone with a buddy and we had this same conversation.
I'm waiting for Flaptail to tell how he uses the breakaways, and he has no problems with them.
