You can even put a big hooked bucktail on these something that was near impossible before, esp if the hook eye had paint on it. I had to use a little effort but nothing like the breakaway. Putting on a plug with a split ring is not longer a struggle. And they are stronger to boot. You can even clip it on your rod-eye frame.
As for plugs coming off easier yes they do. I see that as a plus....I can't see how it is possible for the plug to come off without holding the snap in one hand and the plug in the other. Perhaps if the line slipped to the the other position and the fish got leverage somehow...perhaps... but I still can't see that happening every easily. Beyond the ease of use, they don't deform as much under tension as the breakaways. After two nights with them these are superior to the breakaways. I'm convinced. I love these compared to breakaways.
The don't snag on anything either, at least I have not found that a problem. Try them out you will not be sorry.
