clipping down bait
Just wondering what can you use to clip down bait if you are not using breakaway impact leads

Re: clipping down bait
Your existing clip down rigs may not fit a new set up.
An extra snap swivel might be needed to be put onto the rig.

Re: clipping down bait
If you cast otg the gemini solos are very good. Bigger hooks like a 4/0 dont work too well in them tho and some heavier 2/0s will be a bit big too. For over head thumps or pendulum the imps are just as good and a little cheaper but for otg the solo wins out for me. Ive never had one not open after the cast and im using them about 12 months.
