I've been using the fox safelok links to attach traces for the past few seasons without problem. for the past 12months I've also been using them to attach my hooklengths when C*rp fishing. not had a problem then either except on wednesday I caught 3 17lbers, and all of them opened up the clip. they where all landed safely though I'm not sure how as the clips where all open and bent.
problem is my confidence in them has taken a battering, really don't want to think about a link opening up and leaving a trace in a pike....
I use a lot of Fox gear for piking and while I know that some have had problems I've been quite happy with it... I'm not anti Fox gear in anyway shape or form.
Bad batch? or has anyone else had problems?
any suggestions for an alternative?
