I've caught up to a 3 lb bass with them with no problems and lots of very large bluegill. I've snapped the leader off on snags without the connector thinking of coming loose...........uh..............many times

The connector will cast thru the guides on the rod too. It is that small.


I also makes threading the line thru the guides easier. I just push the connector thru the guides and let the leader follow. I makes this task tons easier to do.

So far the only complaint so far is the fact some bream will hit the connector and not the fly
