Just curious, why the breakaway clips on the lure, this is the first I heard of this? Will a uni knot work for attaching all the gear?

I used to use uni knots for everything, but I've lost faith in them. Now I tie a bimini at the end of my braid and attach the leader with an albright. I use a simple clinch knot to attach the breakaway clip to my leader, this way if I get hung the clinch will be the first to pop and I won't lose a bunch of line. The breakaway clips make it easier to change lures and I like them better than other types of clips. I generally prefer Fireline on my spinners and Power Pro/Stealth/Spectron on my conventionals, things just seem to work better that way. It will take some practice to perfect the knots I mentioned, but trust me, it's time well spent, I've had far fewer break-offs then when I used uni to uni to attach leader to mainline.
