breakaway clips

Is anyone here using them?? they look great and you can switch a plug in about 1 second with them but I'm nervous that a thrashing blue or bass might 'shakeaway' the plug right off of the clip.

Any thoughts???

Thumbs up

No problems here and I have been using them for about a month now!

Takes a bit of getting used to as far as on and off but once you get the hang of it its a piece of cake!!

U guys tie direct, or do ya add a swivel to it?

If you do use a swivel can you post a picture/write of the order you attach everything from the line? The diagram on the back is confusing.

thanks

There was another post not to long ago about them. And that was the first time I have heard of them. Well I went down to MikeCC and got some and they are great!! I use them on everything now!!

Yes I put a swivel on it and then tye to line. I also have another swivel on the rig Iam putting on. Makes switching rigs a snap!!

I take it these break away clips aren't snap swivels, huh? Can anyone post a pic or will tackle shops know what I'm talking about if I ask for them?

Just think of the as a small strong Staimless paper clip. They work the same way!
You no when you put 2 paper clips toghter, well thats how you put your rig on the breakaway.
I like to put a swivel on some do not? Your choise. They come in 2 sizes, 30# and 80# I use the 80# for everything.
