- Tactical Angler Power Clip: This is the fastest simplest and most secure way to attach your line to lure. (Get em here bit.ly/TAclips )
In this review I go over the results of a range of strength tests covering multiple brands and styles. Certain steps that should be taken before attaching certain plugs.
And show you a tremendous variety of baits using clips of varying sizes. In an effort to remove any guesswork when it comes to choosing the proper sizes.
Not just a glorified paper clip....well kinda...But they'll enable you to be more efficient with your time on the water. No more trimming back and retying leaders after a few lure changes. And no fussing with snaps and latches when rapid changes need to be made.......And do it headache free even while wearing gloves in the nastiest of conditions.

This was very informative, thank you for your video! Take my like

@Stay Ready definitely, these would work for pike and muskies. Together with wire leader if you like. Smaller sizes for bass too.
They will not replace swivels, TA clips and swivels have different puropses. Also, i am not concerned with loosing plugs to fish with these clips, i am confident that this is very unlikely. Unless you are using the clip he showed on the right in the beginning of the video, in which he demostrated a flaw that can lose plugs.
Hi...just want your opinion if it's ok to attached a barrel swivel to TACTICAL ANGLER'S Power Clips..Thanks!
@@peterlagapa4981 I don't I'd rather the swivel be up the line
Thank you very much for your time.
I really needed this info! I am experimenting with the 50b clips in Louisiana for inshore fishing.
This video gave me a lot of experience with little work.
Thanks again for your time putting this together for us.
Tight lines!
Joe Bleaux drink every time hes says "clip".
I use similar clips for my crankbait fishing. Breaking strength isn't a concern but lure action is. These are new brands I didnt know of. Thanks for the vid. I really enjoyed it!
Love using clips like this. I lost too many big pike on the Coast Lock style from them opening up. I use a piece of clear tubing to slide down over this style of clip to make sure the bait isn't worked free while fighting a fish...it happened a couple times but i'm using a different brand, so I'm going to give this brand a try and the bulk pack is a great price.
Great video took 3 years to find me but this stuff is relevant now than and forever until someone invents a new swivel clip etc.
Thank you for share your testing with us, you absolute right, off with those splitrings
Nice job, I use snaps a lot as well I've seen these but never thought twice, i'll have to check them out great video.
Good job answering questions I never thought to ask
Good video! Was going to buy the Norman fast clips, but now I am buying this!
Excellent tutorial, I do use a safety pin for for clip storage. and I also use the safety pin to keep my hoos organised.
You have amazing collection of lures
Fantastic video. Really appreciate you taking the time to share this. I’m new to clips and it helped a lot!
Enjoyed video. Nice to watch someone who knew what he was talking about.
I know this is very old. I have watched it several times.
I like using the Clips. I have supplemented the Clip with a short piece of Mackerel Feather Tubing over the Clip. It might add not anything but it is the perceived confidence factor that the Clip is more resistant to opening..
Steve
What a great video , loved all the info.i use the clips but only in certain circumstances but after watching this I think I will be using the a lot more often.thank for the video.
Allan
Outstanding video and information. Thank you for the thoroughness and effort.
this is a fundamental change in fishing for me, thank you.
One of the channels I’m actually frothing about the content 👍
Hope you grow big
Probably the best title of a TH-cam video I've ever seen haha.. Great content man, appreciate it
Really enjoyed your video , I've used these clips for several years and have been very pleased with them , actually never tried the larger clips I usually do lakes , ponds etc.
On your transporting the Backlash clips , try using a large safety pin instead of fishing line , that way you can remove as needed and you don't have to return every time .
Thanks again for the information 😊 I appreciate anyone who can help me be a better fisherman .👍.
(Sorry if some words are misspelled or letters in wrong place , I'm almost bilind , and these letters are small) 🤭. 🖐️ Later !
I found it very useful. I been wonder about this "clips". Thank You
Very informative video.. You covered all the flows possible ...I will keep following your videos. Excellent, thanks Sy
Hey Sy, I'm glad you found it informative. I think the hardest part of putting this vid together was how hard I was laughing at myself thinking.....AM I really going to spend my day filming a glorifided paperclip.
But they really are a great product. And compared to the others out there. Cover the widest range of use and very consistent.
Great bump Scoob - really enjoy the videos!
Thanks bro!! Figured...why not do a vid on fancy paperclips..lol I know whenever i try a new clip or ring...i never know what size to get for the first go around
Quality videos man. Keep up the good work!
I've been considering using these clips, this is good info. I am a habitual lure changer and retie my leader often, I may give these a shot.
They're worth using. Very reliable and consistent. THe gent who owns Tactical Anglers (Crazy Alberto Knie) is a true Fishermen know for his ability to frequently catch giants!!! Not only that but over the years has helped many in their efforts as well. One of the good guys!
Love the TA clips. U should do a review on the fastash.
Very helpful video as i was about to purchase some clips👍
Just great stuff. Thank you and I really appreciate your time and knowledge
+Wil Martin thanks Wil glad you enjoyed it
i use the 50lb TA clips and mustad fastach for inshore fishing. Both are great.
I like the way the lure planes to the side on top in slow current realing slow that’s when I get most of my big fish
Amazing review and demonstration
Thanks. Great videos. very informative
It's appreciated.
Excellent! ordered 75s and 125s to add to my 50s and 150s. Even ordered 3 lucky craft 95 wanderers - hard to find! had to order from France for an upcoming amberjack trip. They look deadly, got the pink, chartreuse, mackerel and ghost sardine all in lazer finish, psyched! Thx so much, very professional demonstration, subscribing now. Great format dont change a thing.
I only use them in saltwater, for large lures etc.. thanks for good information 🐟
use these all the time, best clips!
Nice info.....learned a lot. Ty
you are the best !!!!! thanks for making this awesome video
Need to test the new Spro clips when they come out this fall!!!!
Great information, thank you !
i`ve been looking for a video like this for years now , thanks for your effort , and happy fishing :v
I'm not a newbie and I don't use swivels but I occasionally use snaps. They're very good especially on a plugging reel where are you want to prospect by quickly changing out plugs and lures. I tried the Tactical Anglers clips I like the mechanism but the diameter of the wiring is too big for lot of hook eyes.
Great design, nice and compact, but you need to use a wire material that lets you get that same strength with a much smaller diameter.
stop making me buy stuff with you awesome reviews!!! :)
Butt hurt 😭 lol
Verry nice and informational video, thank you!
I want to se a rewiew of locks for small baits in the next video :)
Greetings from Finland.
Great review. Much needed info.
I love the sarcasm
Great stuff as usual!
For big game I use solid rings and attach them to the lures split ring. Takes more effort and pliers but it's just 100x more stronger.
I need to try this idea, smaller more compact, no weak points, no accidental unsnapping or opening of snaps, thanks for the great idea.
@@tabutog 😊
Do a review on the spro snaps as well as the prime snap
Hello I need to buy some fishing swivels and I came across your channel 👍
Great video man, I would like to add my experience with a ta clips. I was using 50 lb clips for everything, till I was in jetty country and got snagged on a rock with my ss needle fish. I was able to free the plug, but after close look at the clip, saw it bent out a bit. I was able to bend it back with pliers, and catch a few fish over 30 in. with no problem. But that made me switch to the 75 lb clip, with no issues till I started pencil popping with loaded cotton Cordells. After 5 fish on a 6 inch Cordell, I noticed the lip of the plug chewed up bad, from the clip, still caught fish but made start tying a loop knot for that plug. Another important note is the knot that you use to tie your leader to the clip. I highly recommend a single line knot, double lined knots, like the Palomar knot have been known to slip cause the double line doesnt seat in the point of the clip. And when a fish bites, destroys the clip easily, or cast offs. I use a uni knot for clips cause it is almost impossible to tie wrong in wind and darkness, and gets tighter with every pull and is probably the strongest single lined knot that can be tied with any pound test, just changing the the # of turns in the knot, more with lower pound test, less with higher pound test. Hope this comment helps, this video answered a few questions I had, greatly appreciated.
does the 75lb fit through the guides?
I love the uni as well simple and reliable
NICE - COMPLETE and informative video, but,
I would have liked to see more closely,
HOW-TO install install and remove.
I definitely will buy and try. Thank you.!!!!
Great video. I never fast click until I got an email from Ross Bain. So I will buy some.
thanks for posting - good, informative video! I have been looking into this type of clip as I am been using snap type since I started fishing. I like the ability to quickly switch out baits vs tying direct. However, I know there is some debate as to tying direct vs using hardware. Folks tying direct argue that once you get used to it, its as fast as using a clip or snap. They also say hardware like a clip weights your lure down creating an unnatural presentation (for example, with topwater lures). I'll likely explore with clips but just wanted your take on that debate.
Also, wasnt clear from the video but do you tie a swivel to your main line then leader then the clip (looks like a improved clinch knot to the clip)? Thanks!
Thanks for tips and explanation
Great video man! Could you do a video on trying knots with nanofil? I have 4lb nanofil on my trout setup and it's impossible to tie. Literally tried every knot people have recommend and none of them hold. The ones that do break off on light hook sets. Thank you if you cane.
I like to use a high speed trolling swivel connected to a 75lb anglers clip, when using braid while surf casting it helps line twist a LOT , especially since I like a crazy Alberto knot to connect my braid to Fluro leader
This is an awesome video. It has helped a lot.
Glad it helped!
The Nutnfancy of fishing. Thank you!
Great informative video! Just subscribed.
I use the clips. And have yet to have one break, or lose a fish. And I use the smallest one with no issues...perhaps a bit harder because I have larger hands. But way easier and less time than re-tying or o-rings
Great review!
Great video thanks for the time
Excellent, informative video. I love the tactical angler clip
thank you been looking for better clips had many break, twist . or just bend fail .
Excellent video, convinced me to purchase a pair of the bulk packs of 50 & 75 lb clips. Thanks for your efforts.
Really got into the Mustang Fastach lately...love it...you should try it...
Mustad not Mustang...hate auto correct
For FW all around...I've been 100% fully invested in them for about 3 years or longer....whatever year it was they came out..I made the switch. Size 0 and size 1's. Best clip ever made for the small stuff...I've pulled the rings off 99% of my fw lures and if i don't have a fastach..i'm screwed because tying tight to the eye is no bueno...Never once had them fail either..i use em with jigs and worms too!.. I've tried them and compared them to decoy spiral snaps, welded owner duolock, the spros, norman speed clips even the 50lb ta clip...ETC....the size 0 and 1 fastach is the best of them all..one of the only mustad products that's any good it seems.
Nice video you make!
Very informative
Thanks a ton
thats a lot of work thank you
Ordered these clips because of this video. I recently went stocked rainbow trout fishing in a reservoir. I changed my spinners a lot because nothing was working and my clip got bent up and was no good anymore. Decided to look for something strong. Hopefully it works for me
I've become friends with Alberto from TA...lovely human being he is....That said...For freshwater trout fishing.....I use mustad fastach clips...His micro clip is a little too large for ultra light....I still swear by his clips for saltwater...
Great review, which size do you recommend for up to 0.375 lb lures (swimbaits, jerkbaits, spinnerbaits, all pike lures...)? 75lb or 125lb?
Lucky Craft minnows 110 -115 - 130 lures are super popular with West coast surf anglers ! and I mean SUPER, theyre known to catch all the surf perch species yellow fin croaker, corbinas ,corvinas , white sea bass , halibut ! yes Halibut , sand and calico bass and super effective catching stripers close to shore, look into those .
Great breakdown. However, your estimate of failure can only apply to braid. Mono has stretch. Witch will add to strength of clips or swivel.
Grandpa won or placed highly in many fishing derbys, he taught me to always hand tie plugs and lures.. Clips/snaps or spinners weigh down the front end of the lure changing the balance, movement and depth of the lure.
I can't name a single lure that I've fished over the years outside of some in the jig or shad category which would be negatively effected by using a small/ appropriately sized clip in place of a split ring.
Good info my man
Great video
Thanks as always for sharing your experience and knowledge. I use Mustad Fastach clips which seem to test pretty close to the pack. Have you tried those?
NO problem man!!!1 Glad ya enjoy it.....For Freshwater the fastach clips are literally all i use....swimbaits I'll use others sometimes...but 90 percent of the time I use size 0 and 1. And have now after using every damn cip on the market......never had a failure but ocasionally I'll get a size 1 that isn't bent right........the best product mustad makes in my opinion outside their kvd hooks.
Nomura Quick Link is the best snap/clip that you can use. It gives similar strenght as clip and lure freedom as snap
I recommend afw snap swivels
Ok, probably a dumb question but I'm a newbie, clinch knot on the clip? Thanks, your videos have been a huge help. Got the FG knot down thanks to your tutorial.
What if you want to use a swivel as well either between the clip and leader or leader and line ... have you used this ? would this be needed to prevent line twist ? thanxs . great video
Was that a Matzuo Big Dog? I came across two just recently, a holo-chrome perch and a tuxedo, picked them up for just 3$ each. Also, you never mentioned swivels when describing your rigging, do you not use em anywhere in your setup?
The only time i use swivels if i'm tying a leader to braid...not using a pr/ fg/ alberto knot. I never use swivels at the lure. When do you think you saw the matzuo
Picked up a couple packs of the 50lb strength clips. PERFECT for freshwater bass fishing. Stupid question but what are baits I don't wanna be using clips on? I'm thinking these wil be fine with just about anything with a treble hook on it, No? Curious how a spinner bait r buzz bait would work with clips. Even in-line spinners.
Great info.. Thanks alot buddy 👍👍
What knot do you use to attach clips and leader? My leader is usually braid (power pro) 15lb, to fluorocarbon (vanish) 8lb!
Have you ever tried sliding a small piece of vinyl or surgical tubing over the clip? I know some carp fishermen slide rubber tubes onto their back lead clips which got me thinking I should try this with some knock off power clips I have laying around to bolster my confidence in them. Curious to get your take.
Would it be possible to pair the 50lb clip with a ball bearing swivel? I'm thinking it would be great to replace the snap part of the swivel but not sure because the ends of the clip are not round.
Great tip , can these clips be use on soft bait or live
Thanks for your video, what will be your advise on using clips with jerk baits? Will they not unclipped themselves in results of jerking movements and will the clips hold well the pike shaking had from side to side? Thanks and wish to have a great fishing .
I use them all the time on rip baits and jerk baits. Bluefish thrash and breach a bit more violently than a pike does. That is a good fish to test pretty much any piece of tackle...They have jaws strong enough to cleave fish cleanly in two. Fight beyond what they're size would indicate. Those yellow eyed demons are know as tackle destroyers. Combine that with being able to catch more than 10 an hour...and that's a good test :)
I've never had one fail or drop a lure. Mustad's fasttach clip is another good one
Thanks Ted, you as well!
Thanks , will go to find some for my self , will give it a go , as I have lost a good few lures and fish as a result of failing usual interlocks. Thanks again and Happy Christmas. Thanks again for advice .
Great video thanks ; myself bass fishing freshwater and using MS slammer 7 inch wake baits , topwater lunker punker and some Huddleston 6 and 8 inch trout , 4” shell crackers baits ; 65 # braid , with and without leader ; wondering if the 50 or the 75 would be better less visibility on the 50? Thanks John
For bass fishing you can go 50. Never really found the need to go higher
VERYN GOOD VIDEO THANK YOU
Can you please do a video like this but with the spro prime snap I’m wondering if spro will Stan dip to its reputation of making the best barrel swivels fluke bucktails and more.
Is it advisable to connect a swivel to the ring for the minnow lure?
Great info
Man how do you decide on what to use!?!?!?! Can you explain what they all do and maybe a brief over view of all the different family types etc? Would be a massive help
Good job
I watched this all the way thru and I have never used a clip in my life [67 years and counting]. I am definitely going to try some of these though. It was a fun watch if nothing else to get ideas on what plugs to try. I make my own butterfly jigs and been tying loop knots but I definitely see the advantage to these clips. Do those tactical clips come in black?
Thats a good thought about them being black nickel. I think they only have them in the steel finish. Don't quote me on that.
Great video. I do have a question about snapping to spoons. I was taught to use a swivel with spoons to prevent line twist as they flutter on drops.
+AFORWW I've always found swivels don't really do much for line twist at least when using braid. If the Lure spins under tension only a bb swivel would make a difference. But I'd say give both ways a try and see if you experience anything different than what I've experienced
Tackle Advisors thanks. I just received some P-line Technical clips. Not sure how I feel about them. Same exact design but they are a little thick and only 44lb. Have you ever used them? I've not used the TA clips but these P-line clips are so thick I can't get them through the eye of my 5/0 berkley or Owners twist lock hooks.
+AFORWW you're welcome. I haven't used them. Best suggestion would be to tie one on and give it a pull until it starts to flex a bit. All paper clip types have a little give and some resilience. You should be able to tell if they'll hold before you bend em beyond the point of springing back
Tackle Advisors just a heads up, the Tactical Angler clips are much better than the P-Line clips. No trouble getting them into 99% of my lures/hooks. So just like your results smaller, lighter, better fitting for the win.
Really good video. I was looking to make my own Jika Rig and I see a lot of diy rigs use a Duo-Loc snap. I have used for crankbaits for many years the Norman Speed Clips. What are your thoughs for trying one of the power clips vs say the norman clips or the newer mustad kvd fastach clip?
So Varivas has a swivel to welded ring hook perfect for jiga rigs...they also have clip on tungsten weights.......wait for a big sale...you can stack coupon codes and get 30 to 50% off everything. Ifish on youtube should have a 10% off code...that stacks with whatever other codes they're running. I like fastach clips for jiga rigs...size 1 or 0.....always use them..never let me down.
Thanks for the video! Do you have any additional information on that Lucky Craft Wanderer? Size or weight?
Sure...what did you want to know. I have all the sizes. And variants. They make tiny ones as well as larger slim versions. Wander 95's are true launchers. The one in the vid is an 80....A billion colors too!

Thank you! I was looking for something new to use for albies and something to throw in the dock lights the snapper blues won't tear up. This seems to fit the bill.
I fish on the west coast with surface irons ,poppers, and shimano waxwing jigs. Would the jig still swim just as fine with the clip on? or would tying the line to the jig be better?
Generally yes. I have found that in almost every case the clip works well. If it fits through the eye and doesn't hang up on anything if you move it all around, use it. I personally use these and Sea Striker fast snaps on poppers and waxwings all the time.
They swim as good as tying a loop knot. I use them when fishing irons, so I can change out size, color, orwhat have you. But after landing a yellowtail or tuna I always cut off a few feet of leader and retie it. I've started using wire when around kelp so these make it so much faster.
