50lb Clip

I have been using the 5olb clip for over 10 years fishing the saltwater flats of the Laguna Madre. They last forever. You only need to replace when your line/leader breaks.

Great Invention

with a little practice very easy to use even at night. best of all there's no worries if you didn't close the snap all the way or if it opens.tough to get on lures with split rings so take them off Breakaways gives the freedom of action like a split ring. love them

---

Pros: easy to use, strong
Cons: doesn't fit big sluggos
Recommended: Yes

great product

These clips are not only the easiest way to fasten lures but strong as well, haven't had one fail yet.

---

Pros: Great design
Cons: Too small
Recommended: No

Not too bad, BUT

Because of the small size. Takes time to set the lure on. I don't think, it will work very well in a dark.

---

Pros: easy to use, strong
Cons: little too small for 3oz+ bucktails and some tins
Recommended: Yes

Two thumbs up

These are THE snaps for plugging. I use them with either an 80 or 130lb Spro Power Swivel and they are the best clips I've ever used. No problems going from a redfin to a bunker snag to a bucktail, the snap is easy to put onto 90% of the plugs in your bag. The only problem I've had with these is that they are a bit too small for bigger bucktails in the 2.5+ ounce range and tins without an external eyelet will not fit on without an additional split ring.

Recommended: Yes

The original

Ive tried the tactical angler clips, and havent found any advantage to them. Ive been using breakaways for about 5 years and have yet to have one fail.

---

Pros: Easy to use, durable, low profile
Cons: Not compatible with everything
Recommended: Yes

No reason to use anything else

I've been using these exclusively for 3 seasons now and I love them. So easy to use and makes changing all these plugs I buy from SWE a quick, painless process. I had to add split rings to some tins (e.g. Kastmasters) to use them with the clips and you may run into an occasional mismatch with some lures.

---

Pros: Ease of use; attachment hook bent in, not up
Cons: None
Recommended: Yes

Best Clip Around

I snagged one of these while surf fishing and started using it. It was such a great product I had to buy more.

---

Recommended: Yes

Why use anything else?

Stick with the originals- Breakway FL1's. They are cheap, strong, and work very well.

---

Pros: Ease of switching out artificials
Cons: sometimes difficult w/ thick wire
Recommended: Yes

Love them

have used them for everything from jigging to popping to trolling and they are just a great convenience. can't be beat, I keep a pack of them in each of my tackle bags so I'm always covered.

---

Pros: Simple, strong, efficient
Cons: Can weaken over time; knot can move
Recommended: Yes

Changed the way I fish!

This is all I use on my rods now. Its so easy to change lures that I find myself changing lures more often that I should be! They are strong and I have never had one open up. Way better than any snap lock and no moving parts. Only con is the knot can sometimes rotate out of position and I could see it popping off....and they do wear out over time, but like anything I guess!

---

Pros: Do not open up, don't snag weeds
Cons: Leader know will slide up
Recommended: Yes

Reliable Clip

Great alternative to the old style clips. Can change lures in the dark no problem. So far have not seen any failures in regards to them opening up.

---

Pros: strong, simple to use- no fail!
Cons: none
Recommended: Yes

breakaway clips

By far the best clips on the market for plug throwers. Very strong, compact, and after 3 seasons not one failure.

---

Pros: easy to use
Cons: does not fit bigger plugs
Recommended: Yes

Breakaway Spin Links

Easy to use, but are a little small for all surf situations

---

Pros: Easy to use
Recommended: Yes

Breakaway Links

Easy to use, even with one hand

---

Pros: Easy to use, strong, no worries
Cons: difficult to connect with some lures
Recommended: Yes

No Moving Parts!

If you fish with these at night, you'll never have to wonder if you closed your snap properly. An effective, simple design. With a little practice, you can easily switch plugs without a light. I don't fish without them.

---

Pros: Easy off/on of most terminal tackle
Cons: Wire loop with split rings can be difficult
Recommended: Yes

Breakaway Spin Link

I've been using the Breakawy SL2 for two seasons. Easy to swap lures with limited lighting. No second guessing if a snap is weak or engaged properly.

---

Pros: EASY ON AND OFF EVEN WITH THUNDER GLOVES
Cons: WON'T GO ON SOME TINS AND DEEP WELL POPPERS
Recommended: Yes

GREAT CLIP

I FIRST GOT THIS CLIP SEVERAL YEARS AGO FROM BREAKAWAY. AND WHEN I SAW THEM AT SWE I WAS THRILLED TO GET THEM LOCALLY. THIS CLIP IS BUNCH BETTER THAN ANY OTHER CLIP, INCLUDING THE DOUBLE CROSSLOCK. HAD TO PUT SPLIT RINGS ON THE FRONT OF SOME OF MY TINS. THIS IS THE LAST CLIP YOU'LL EVER BUY

---

Pros: Great for most wire eyed plugs, fast, easy to use
Cons: hard to get on thicker smaller eyes and rings like Bucktails and Tins
Recommended: Yes

Works for me

Even with its short comings its the best clip i've ever used.

---

Pros: Fast on/off
Cons: trouble with rings
Recommended: Yes

Fantastic Clip

I will probably never buy another makers clip as long as these are still around! No more dealing with other clips reopening and causing you to lose that big $$ plug!

---

Pros: easy to use, work great 100%
Cons: no good for most tins w/out split ring
Recommended: Yes

breakaway 80lb

I'll never go back to snaps

---

Pros: Easy to switch plugs and hooks
Cons: Rounded ends so line can slide. Thicker loops can be hard to get on
Recommended: Yes

Breakaway clips

I started using these breakaway clips after a friend recommended them. I tie my fluoro leader to it and then I can not worry about having to change it. I can use it for my plugs or if I decide to change to eels I can just slide my 6/0 hook onto it and go. So it makes it real easy to switch to anything you want to use. The only thing I do not like is the line can slip from side to side and very large plugs or hooks are harder to get on

---

Pros: Never comes open
Cons: Not enough in each pack - price
Recommended: Yes

Breakaway Spin Clips

Best fast clip I have ever used and I have tried them all . You do need to remove teh front split ring from any hard bait to keep the balance correct - but once you do changing lures is simple and fast.Plus, unlike most other clips these never come 'unlocked" The only con is that they are expensive
