The trade me clips are very similar to the ones I saw on a Hawaian Fishing site, Slide baiting is big in hawaii. $5.50 is a bit rich for one clip/slide though?? Hmm $5.50 or 5 minutes mucking around when your baits won't swim out, all the same be worth a go for the right priceI agree Chad, it would be alot pressure on the knot at the split ring at the sinker. Crimps maybe? Trail and error would lead the way. ( But would the pressure be any more than what is at the sinker using a coastlock? )
