I haven't lost a single plug all year ,and 3 in 24 hours.....

It's a inherent problem with the design.The fastlock is more likely to have that happen in my estimation than the Breakaway clips..
IMO easier on means easier off...If you would have payed attention to the NIB you would know this..I only use the breakaway clips for jigs.When jigging only..The large ones...When plugging I use the # 35 coast lock.That I round out the bottoms with a pair of round nose pliers.Like the ones Mike At CC Tackle sells..
It is the only way...

Hey NIBs, where'd you get the carbide stud screws  |

It broke my heart to have it slip of these new fastlock clips. I hate to loose plugs but when the fish win, they win.But to have it slip of the snap is a heartbreaking. I also lost two bm juniors the night before to a same problem

I just realized I had handled that plug earlier that evening...   |

Better go and pick up some more eels, I guess -
