Get the "no-knot fast snaps", which are just stainless fly clips, instead. Won't rust and super strong. Imported by EJ Todd.

g'day f.b
there are plenty of posts on fly clips in previous threads.have a look in the search forums.some people like them some people dont.i have been using them for a while now and haven't had a problem until weekend.they loose a bit of springyness? after a while,clipped on a brand new lure,cast out only to have the lure go one way without line attached,on closer inspection when i'd pushed the lure onto clip the instead of springing back into shape had stayed open,lure just fell out.it was a relatively new clip,so just nipped it back into shape,but now
am having a think about them.stripping down to ya jocks at 6:30 in the morning for a swim is not good on the tackle so to speak.

I have used them for a little while now and like the ease of use. I have only had one come loose as i flicked it from l to r and up and down as i was snagged. Checked the clip and found that I should of checked the gap after changing lures. I rate them bro, good luck Steve B
