Micro Clips from My Videos
These are the micro clips from my videos. I have used them for almost 4 years now, and I have tried everything available in US or Japan, and this is THE ONLY model and size that I like. They allow better articulation during the twitching motion. To achieve the same thing, most people use the advice of Mr. Richard Gene and tie a loop-knot. Loop-knots never worked for me as the hook would loop around and tangle. Additionally, the loop-knot is not very strong, and if you fish with 2 lb line, you have to be careful with that.
These micro clips work better ONCE YOU INSTALL THEM! But installing them is IMPOSSIBLE on the water! You can only do that at home, under some good light, using needle nose pliers! DO NOT TRY TO INSTALL ON THE WATER! You will drop them and then you can never pick them up again.

After trying several clip models, I finally found the one that works well with my fishing style. The articulation during the twitch is smooth and reliable. I used to struggle with loop-knots, but these clips eliminate that problem. Installation takes a bit of time and care, but once set up, they perform consistently.

These clips are a game changer for my spinning setup. They don’t tangle like other options and stay secure even on light lines. I had to install them at home, which was a bit tricky, but worth it. I now fish with more confidence in my casting and retrieval.

I tried every other micro clip available in Japan and the US. This one is the only one that gives the right feel during the twitch. No tangling, no slipping. The only downside is the installation process, which requires good lighting and pliers.
