Can anyone point me in the right direction concerning lure clips size weight etc etc for plugs/SP's etc i was looking at these http://www.agmdiscountfishing.co.uk/100lb-luxon-duolock-snap-38mm-12pcs-p-619.html but am wondering if they might be too big??

Kevin, egg clips are fine but they have opened on me on occassion (on smaller fish would you believe). I recently got JB clips from Cian O' Halloran, Absolute Fishing (http://absolutefishingireland.blogspot.com/). They seem fine and have a good reputation.

I use those Edgar and you know what? One opened up on me today for the first time ever whilst I was sliding and walking a 30g surface lure. Luckily I was able to carry on fishing whilst watching it and then 30 mins later wade out and get it. But I am now looking for a decent replacement.

The JB Clip is the best I have found. Just Google it. They are available from Reels & Deals in Weymouth.

Another great clip is the genie ones:

I have never heard of them opening as long as you buy the originals and they can take the repetitive strain of constant lure changing, and not to mention they are so easy to change lures with!!

I take it you are referring to the gemini clips?

I personally do not use them (although I am going to buy some very soon, to try out) as they are a little to large for the tiny lures that I sometimes use. With regards to them coping with large fish; I have some mates and all they use are these clips (all freshwater fishing though- piking) and they have NEVER had one pull one or open on them and I think they have caught fish up to 20lb on them! But you must make sure you buy the genuine gemini ones otherwise the cheap replicas will and do break.

Best! Strong, light, very fast and reliable.
