The links are far too weak for any heavy duty casting or fishing. The gauge is much lighter than the Gemini version. Swivels also have a tendency to slip out of the clip when the trace hits the water. I have binned any I had as they are a safety risk. The continental clips are fine for light work but the shrink tubing does wear after a few uses.

The cascade swivels fall apart after one use, storm ones look the same but are grand , breakaway are indestructible!
