Fishing with LURE CLIPS, yes or no. I do the tests

- I get asked so much lately from Murray cod fishing to my barramundi fishing. What clips are you using? Well i thought rather than just show you the clips i would do some testing on them to see what fails in a whole tackle set up.
I was actually shocked with the results..

Very in interesting as I have always tied a loop knot and have not lost a fish
yet, but a pain when changing lures all the time, may have to try some of those clips
thanks again for another great video.
No worries mate, you can always run clips until you have that go to bait and then go back to loop knots 👊🏻
*I found these ball bearing swivel snaps to **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it’s be just as effective in every aspect as the much more expensive brand name snaps.*
thanks
Very informative test mate. Cheers
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for tuning in
Love these comparison vids mate. 👍
Thanks mate, need to find more things to compare
Oh Maria..ur soooo strong. I'll keep em in my kit either way. Funny but I was doing this "yes or no" thing buying or collecting as 'Jonesys' wife said well,last week & then vid from Deano. Heating up & we're all tuned in thinking of a bite more than eating,sleeping or our lovely other halves. Bloody addicted.
hahahaha yep waaaaaayyyyyy too addictive but in saying that there are much worse things to be addicted to.
Uhu..definitely.
Hiya Dean,
Yep totally agree; the knot is the weakest point. I’ve tested many many different leaders both mono and Fluro. Different knots and lb class. If your looking for a new knot to try, have a go at the Toit knot. It’s my go to above all knots on fluro and mono. It takes a bit more time to tie but worth it.
thanks legend, i am always keen to learn something knew so i will look it up for sure
great video food for thought
Thanks legend
Love the Mustad Fastach's, so quick to use and leaves the lure swimming with best action compared to the various clip styles IMHO. My only real gripe with clips (inc. Fastach) is that they tend to collect more weed (esp. snot weed) than a good loop knot with little tag.
If you tie a loop knot and follow the line back through the way you came you can get the tag pointing inside the loop backwards so you never get any weed 👊🏻
I thought the fastach ones were super strong but I came that close to loosing my first topwater king cuz of one. 6lb outfit on medium drag and the 56 king completely bent it out - clips just aren’t worth it imo. And not the first clip I’ve completely bent out on a fish (they are extremely extremely convenient tho)
I use clips for convenience also, but my connection knot is an orvis knot. Fast to tie and never failed me
I might have to give it a go, never heard of the orvis
I use a lot of different clips, Decoy's are good but expensive, Mustad do the one with a loop at each end which I think gives a better swimming action and then the old cheap special from Big W which works well enough, you will get rubbed off on 40lb FC Rock before they break and they are $3 for 18 clips. They are also good when you are finding out what colour and size things are after. Mind you I fish the harbour in Darwin so different tactic, they are also rarely larger than 70cm. A clinch knot doubled through the clip also works for line up to 40lb.
nice one mate, heard good things about that harbour. Yes running a clip whilst you sort out lures is good idea and then i guess once you establish a lure for the day you can go back to a knot.
Interesting as i use clips too.even for kingys etc.
Interesting also to find the loop held up.quite surprising actually
That loop knot is super strong, guess it has a little more stretch in it as well
@@DeanSilvester surprising as its only a single line going through the ring
I was surprised to see I the Uni brake thought is was better knot than that glad I changed
I was super surprised as well. When i get it snagged under water its near impossible to break. Maybe its when its dry
Great video 👍🇦🇺🍻
Glad you enjoyed it!! thanks mate
The great debate... Was sooo against clips but recently with switching baits so much at dams to key into the bite had to turn to the clips. Your strength test was really good to see. Honestly thought that knots would be stronger and clips fail but you just debunked that. Good video mate
thanks mate i was the same, i was always anti clips but with no real evidence as to why. I know now i am likely to have a clip come unstuck in the future as thats just what happens haha.
Nice test,
Unexpected results,
I reluctantly changed to clips for Trout fishing and love it. The quality branded lighter clips I believe feel lighter than a loop knot. They break at 10lb, I figure if you break a clip when Trout fishing you’ve done something else very wrong.
Haha yes this is true. I am yet to try clips on trout but I am keen
Nice one
Thanks 🔥
I love clips.
can be very useful thats for sure
The main issues with clips opening though is from excessive lure changes. It would be interesting to conduct a test like the ones you did with clips that have been opened/shut say 5 or 6 times. Think you would see a difference. Have not fished with clips for a long time but I did like the Vanfook clips. Also the Halco lure clips were pretty well designed too but they didn’t exactly let the lure swim properly... not a big loop in the clip.
Harro’s loop knot for the win. Has only let me down once and it wasn’t the knot. It was the greasy S factor attractant that undid the knot
Haha yep had hand sanitiser let me down with some knots i was tying at the Osaka trade show earlier this year. so i know the feeling. Haven't heard of Harro's loop knot. Guess i have some more research to do..
Don't think there'd be too much difference between a Harros loop knot and a Lefty Kreh. I keep the loop as small as possible though.
Your videos are great mate! Keep them coming! Got me keen to do some Tinaroo vid's.
wicked mate thanks heaps, keen to do some tinaroo monster bashing myself haha
Interesting test mate, obvious question - why not tie a loop knot to the clip instead of the uni? Be interesting then to see if the clip is stronger than the loop knot?
Good point, will do that today and give you a reply.
its up on my Instagram now mate haha...
@@DeanSilvester Just caught up on that, looks so much stronger than the uni knot test mate, definitely surprised to see the clip go the distance. Thanks for sharing! 👍🏻
i was always told to use a clip rated higher than the leader so it makes sense the leader would snap first if you did this
Yes you should but the point was people are concerned about the clip failing.
Try a perfection loop next time with heavy leader Deano. It’s a lot smaller profile than the lefty’s or rapala loop knots and has never failed me.
Will have to look that one up mate, can’t say I have tried it
@@DeanSilvester super easy to tie compared to others. Look forward to hearing your thoughts.
going to have a play now..
Interesting 🤔
Keen to see you do some knot testing 👊🏻
Nice vid mate only thing that I've had go on clips if the fish open it up an rolls off
Have yet to have that happen, guess anything like this is a gamble in a way. But if a fish opens my clip he deserves the lure haha
@@DeanSilvester haahhaha yea true it's only happened acouple of times mostly when the fish strikes an opens it up that way
Actually now that i think of it, i did have a bass undo the factory clip on my Jackall Charablade and it straightened on the hookset and i never even felt the fish. But unsure of rating of that clip etc.
@@DeanSilvester yea that's what happened to us it's rare but has happened acouple of times
as long as i catch it on camera i won't be too phased haha
Should test the clip by tying the loop knot to the clip
Interesting
What are those knot tightening tools? 7:30
thanks!
they are called kamiwaza. For tightening FG knots
@@DeanSilvester Nice! Thank you
No worries mate
I wonder how it would change the results if you use a TN knot or Palomar as the thin wire of the snap breaks the mono easily, im using Maria fighters snap for many years and im using TN or Palomar knot, no issues whatsoever
Yeah nice, also helps with the lighter lines to double the loop through the clip before you tie the knot. Haven't heard of a TN knot before, will look it up
@@DeanSilvester TN is very simple knot and my favorite for any terminal tackle, from solid rings to tiny snaps. used in jigging mostly to connect solid rings to leaders because it acts as shock absorber, with thin lines under 10lb im tying it with three loops, works great when using tiny snaps and thin lines, it gives 100% of breaking strength of the line. if you gonna try it, let your loops overlap and give attention to your first half hitch direction 👍
Thanks mate
I’ll give a clip a go just need to track them down
They will be here by Monday Tuesday i think..

Have u tried some other knots that spread the load? Polamar?
yes after this video. Palomar is super strong
2:59 that uni knot on the clip isnt even pulled down tight. you can see the loop open with the tag end ready to slide out you can even tell the wraps around the line are loose and not pulled tight together. also why not tie the same knot on both ends? thanks for the test as I am curious about these clips but I can't trust this test.
Can't use the same knot as my comparison was about comparing a loop knot to a clip.
Mustard Fast tec clips I found are allot better than the ones you had.
I have tried them but I feel they hit the bib of the Jackall squirrel and mess up it’s action
@@DeanSilvester I used them on smaller squirrels in PNG and got jacks and fingermark on them.
Use them on all my bass lures and they work well.
Lots easier than the clip ones to swap lures.
@@DeanSilvester I was wrong. On my bass lures I use a clip like yours then the fasttec. For faster changing. The split ring is removed
whats your honest opinion the quantum smoke.
Love it mate, can out cast anyone and I try my hardest to wear them out and can’t
@@DeanSilvester cheers for that diffently have a better intrest in them.
Would be interesting to see what poundage it broke at?
Might put some PE 10 braid on it and see if I can break the clip haha
@@DeanSilvester I was thinking what poundage your knots broke at, compared to line strength
I would say pretty close to breaking strain, i know when its on a rod in the water i have to drive away with the trolling motor to get it to break. Might have to do some testing with scales that maintain the max on the gauge after it breaks
@@DeanSilvester Sounds like another video:)
haha nice one boss 🤙🏻
Are u using a 60 lb clip?
No i think they are rated at 120lb
@@DeanSilvester I just had the paperclip style bend out so I think I will try these
Bummer mate, thats frustrating. I hope you didn't lose the fish
Those look like cheap wire clips. Buy some saltwater rated ones. I have caught yellowtail and bluefin on them no problem.
I don't have any problems with mine mate! Tough as
@@DeanSilvester Don't get mad Karen.
No clips! Knots all day
haha
