You have it tied on backwards
I have heard of fish opening them also but maybe that is the imitation clips aka chinese junk fake ones
that sux
I use them and stopped a seal with 25 pounds of drags with 65 lb whiplash, the clip did not open, the braid broke
You must have had one huge fish on

ridler, I don't even thing that makes a difference as to why it bent like that but we always tie them the other way, it's easy to change a plug then. If it bent that way , it would have bent the other way too. 
is that the 80 lb? |

no slip that's the 60. 80's were sold out. I swapped from a danny to a snagger when I saw poagies present. Took the poagie and the snagger off after a long battle in the yak. Couldn't get the poagie fast enough back to the heavy rod. The snagging set up was a stradic 5000, 20lb power pro and 40lb Flouro leader.

Backwards agree.
Look at the end of a good clip, the small section that is bent at 90 degrees. Well the plug w/ fish should not past point of the horizontal wire therefore it should not bend (less leverage). However, the opposite side there will be more leverage if the lure w/fish moves up the clip.

I have never had a problem ,BUT have noticed recently on a couple of plugs I throw . (small cup nose needle ).. The clip will get hung up agianst the lure ,kinda stuck ,kitty corner.. I imagine with a heavy fish on,, leverage against the lure in this jammed up position would not be good .. I watch for it now and break free any clip hang ups before I throw .. but like I said, it probably happens on only a couple of lures ..
