Breakaway Clip Question???

[Bob Thomas]

I had the same thing....bought a bag of Breakaway's in the Breakaway bag but got those other clips. JUNK!!

So I guess the lesson is....take a close look at the bag when you purchase these!

I just checked the three packages that I have. Two different sizes and all are OK. Larry, don't dump em return then to the shop you bought them from. They might want to know that they have duds.

Hey Guys...I might be able to help out here.

The original Breakaway clips still have a 90 degree bend to the inside of the clip. these clips are fine but as we all know you can have trouble getting them on certain kinds of plugs etc. they were originally made for barell swivels in the bait fishign market. they also come in two sizes.

There is a second version/style of Breakaway clip that came out a year ago. IT is the one with the 90 degree bend going away from the clip or in the opposite direction. These clips loose a lot of plugs. This is the one Zeno was complainign about recently. I think the same clip is also marketed by a second company.

There is also a third clip which has been mentioned here, the One More Cast Clip sold by Backlash Sportfishgin. This clip comes in three sizes (not two like the others). The distinct feature on this clip is the bend is 22.5 degrees coming and fitsany stuyle plug without loosing strength. This is the clip being touted as having caught a few fish on the clip itself. I have been usuing these clips for about a year and will tell you they are by far and away better than the Breakaways. I know\, I know, but don;t knock it till you try it.
