The Breakaway Imp is our best-selling bait clip, and for good reason. Compact, reliable, and brilliantly engineered, it’s a must-have for any serious sea angler. Designed to improve rig efficiency and casting accuracy, the Imp offers a secure, tangle-free bait release on impact — time after time.
As of 18th July 2011, every Imp is supplied with a Breakaway Fastlink clip, making it compatible with most rig setups. The Fastlink ensures a quick, strong connection and allows anglers to change leads or rigs effortlessly, even mid-session.
What makes the Imp truly special is its versatility. It’s a small, neat bait clip that fits directly into the Fastlink and can be added or removed from rigs while fishing. Whether you’re using single or multi-hook rigs, the Imp keeps your bait streamlined during the cast and guarantees clean release when it hits the water.
Key Features:
- Includes Breakaway Fastlink clip
- Quick-change design for rigs and leads
- Reliable bait release on impact with water
- Compact, lightweight, and built for distance casting
- Perfect for clipped down and cascade rigs

simple and clever, good item
Isaac Bryan –
Decent weight and bait clips. However, the fact they don’t come pre-built is a massive pain in the ass
