The breakaways are a blessing in disguise. I was going through so much leader because I was always tying direct because I didn't trust duolock snaps. Now I just snap on a new plug with ease.

breakaways can be used with hands that have artheritus. I cannot operate a coastlock at all!

I feel that if you are giving the breakaways a hard workout through frequent changing of various size lures, especially with thickly looped stuff (jigs), they do tend to weaken and get sloppy. I dump them at the first sign.
