I have been cutting off the split ring on my crankbaits and using the
Speedclip. Well I lost one of my favorite lipless cranks. It came unclipped during the cast. Anyone else have a problem with these clips? http://www.landbigfish.com/images/st...m-SpedClip.jpg |

Yep, that'll happen, especially when used frequently. The metal weakens and
loses "memory", thus not closing all the way and forming a nice tight circle. Your lure works it's way into the gap and "zing", it's gone! That, and I don't trust that it'd hold a big honking, hard charging fish. Not that I have any experience with that ![]() -- Shawn "SHRED©" wrote in message news:OD4mc.27886$6L3.13805@fed1read05...

Yep, been there, done that and threw out every speed clip I had. Went back to
snaps. Brad Coovert 2003 Angler of the Year, Greenfield Bassmasters http://www.greenfieldbassmasters.com |

It came unclipped during the cast. Anyone else have a problem with these clips? Never used them. I'm strictly a recreational angler who has used 1/2" duolock snaps for as long as I can remember and had very few problems. I can think of only one fish that I lost to a malfunctioning snap and, actually, it was more me abusing the snap rather than a malfunction. |

I have never had that problem. I wonder if you have somehow overstressed
the clip when putting it on? I have landed drum to the 30lbs range on them. Bass to 13lbs. They work for me and I have yet to see a bad one. If one ever seems to lose it's spring, suspect a bad batch and contact the manufacturer. Carlos |
