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.

Jeff -
A heartbreak to say the least. Give us an update how you do tomorrow morning. I have my daughter this weekend so I have to live vicariously through you mugs. 
Cheers,

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 ..

Don't feel bad. A week or so ago, even after using them now for 3 years, I had a brain fart and tied one on upside down. I went to lift a small fish up, and a 3 oz jighead fell right off the clip. The fish swam away trailing the jighead and the 9" Sluggo attached to it 
I've never had a problem with the 80# clip. I run about 12-15 pounds of drag on a Saltiga 6000 for Canal fishing. 50# Big Game or Cortland braid. Not one snap failure with the 80# clip.
IMO, the 60# clip might be rated accurately for 60# break strength, but the 80s are way underrated. They have to be at least as strong as a size 34 Coastlock. |
