Iuse the 35 coast locks.they are alittle easier to use when the temp.drops easier to squeeze when your hands are cold.never lost a fish do to opening or pulling out.
I love the links for jigs, never had any trouble with jigs using them.plugs on the other hand, lost 2 plugs in a row so I like the Crow snaps I make like the coastlocks
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.

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.
