When I first started slinging plugs into the surf, I field tested every clip on the market. All the clips failed my tests. Without an acceptable clip on the market, I fished plugs with a loop knot at the end of my leader. I used this effective (but time consuming!) method until the Tactical Anglers clip came on the market.
The Tactical Anglers clip is the only clip that passed all my tests. In short:
1. They allow for quick lure changes.
2. They do not “open” during a cast.
3. They do not interfere with a lure’s action.
The Tactical Anglers clips come in three sizes: 175 lb, 125 lb, and 50 lb. In addition to allowing quick lure changes, the Tactical Anglers clips also have other uses. For example, I use a clip on my tube-and-worm rig to quickly replace the hook. I use laser sharp and chemically shared hooks with bleeding sharp points. When the they get dull, I replace them quickly. No exception.
At the end of all my line, you will always find one thing: a Tactical Anglers clip.
