What knot do you use? I had an issue with a trilene knot in 50lb fluro(two turns around the clip) not setting correctly and breaking when I tried to tighten it in the V of the TA clip.

The particular clips in question are goners, but I will check others from the same pack. Something weird on my fingers?

Palomar. Not sure I like what happened with your knots. I am going to take a close look at the way the v sets up on the line. For now I am changing mono and back to my old clips until I figure it out. |
No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

I think that might be your problem. The Palomar and Trilene Knot use a double loop of line around the clip. With the V one loop will sit in the groove, the other above it, and pinch down on it under load. My problem was with the small clips. |

30 or 50 pound Ande floro tied with a palamor on the business end and a Spro on the other also with a palamor.Rock solid leader.
When you say TA clip I'm assuming you mean a Breakaway?

I'm not sure what the difference is but the way I look at it, I never had a problem with Breakaways so I will keep using them, but other than a different bend in some places I see no difference
