Power Clips

I have fully incorporated powerclips into my surf fishing and my boat fishing toolbox. I discovered them when watching Tackle Advisor's youtube video : Tactical Angler Power Clip: Fastest Simplest and most secure way to attach your line to your lure. I did use a set of split-ring pliers to remove extra o-rings on my lures per Tackle Advisor's advice in the video to make it easier to clip on.I ordered a set of 50lb clips (which was the smallest available when I ordered) to use surf and pier fishing. It has made changing out between lures a breeze. I have used it on weighted jig heads, Krocodile, Kastmaster, LC Flash Minnows, and Coltsnipers with no issue. While these are good for ocean/bass, they are way too big to use with ultralight gear like trout. I'm curious about the 25lb ones that were recently added but I haven't personally used them yet. I do know I wouldn't use 50lb for trout.I also ordered the 125lb clips and used them on a recent boating trip where it handled my surface setups of surface irons, flatfall, butterfly, and larger Coltsnipers with no issues. I even sent down some heavier jigs to the bottom to yoyo and it handled my 9oz lure with no problem. Unfortunately the fishing was slow so I didn't get to test this with a heavy fish, only some decent bass, but I have confidence it will hold at least as well as a swivel.It did take some practice to get the lures onto the clips. It helps if the clip is already tied to line since you have more to pull against versus just on the clip. I'd recommend trying out the clips at home a couple times on your lure before trying it for reals wherever you go.One amazing usecase: someone had a hot reel on our boat, and I had too much slack and when I moved out of his way, my lure got wrapped around the guys line. Someone was able to get to my lure, unclip it, and free my line. This happened in about 3 seconds. The other fisherman didn't lose his fish and I didn't lose my lure or have to setup again.

To these on a few fishing trips and no problem. Easy to switch out lures and pre-made jig setups. I do mostly freshwater fishing and it does the job.

I always buy these from Tactical, very strong clips and easy to use, great value for the price

I live at the ocean and use the mid to larger size clips when i'm fishing for rockfish. they make changing my lures/bucktails super easy. I've caught up to a 40# rock from a bridge and have never had one fail.

the sizes are difficult to judge on line viewing so the smaller size is unusable for me. the larger size would be the size for my best use.

these are easy to put on the line and easy to put on and off most lures. these 25lb versions are not too small for reasonably sized hands, I'd assume. I even used it for plain hooks when I didn't want to use a lure. the only issue is that there are many lure variations.some lure attachments are very wide diameter, some have a very small attachment area, some are wound like a keyring, etc...and not all will easily fit on this size clip. some will fit better on the 50lb version while some will fit better on this 25lb version. but as long as it fits, it seems to work well without changing how the lure normally works.a trick is to (before getting out on the water) put one of these on each of the more difficult to attach lures, when your hands are not slimy and you can take your time. then when you are out on the water you can attach the lure clip to the line clip very easily. in those cases you will have 2 clips per lure, but so many come in the box and it should not make any difference to the lure action.

These clips I believe are the original version of this style of clip. Little pricier than some other options but you pay for what you get. Simple as that. They are very durable and do not rust easily. (I'm mostly a salt water fisher) Prior to these i was snap swivels which I wasn't a big fan of because they were not durable, rust almost immediately and you can lose a lot of action depending on the lure that you use. These clips are great and easy to switch out lures. Can be a little harder on some of the bigger top water lures but worth not having to retie lures. For this setup i use 20LB braid to 5LB mono. I have about a 5 FT leader with this on the end.

Wow, these Power Clips are light years better than traditional snaps and speed clips. More durable and easier to attach to braid, mono or flourocarbon line, because they have no protruding ends. Tying a palomar knot is quick and clean, even for my 77 year old fingers. No more trying to open a clip and stabbing myself with a protruding end, as in regular snaps and clips. Wish I had seen these years ago.
