Non Return vs Slide Clip

Both have their pro's and con's, but remember both are designed for a specific type of bait.

A sliding clip is best used for live bait, it gives the bait freedom to move up and down the line and in turn the water column. giving it a more natural look.

The non return clip is best used with dead baits, but can also be used with live baits. the only snag is that the livie will stay at the bottom/ split ring.

Thanks Adrian
Will use the slide clip in future and post my results... Hope i get some tight lines

In the kzn north coast for garrick the live bait clip or nappy clip is the better option,in d south it's not used much,as mentioned above both have there pro n cons,I only use the nappy clip for garrick,

Thanks Ashraf
Your input is greatly appreciated.

Now I got the knowledge... all I need is the tight line :)

Hi Shalen
Firstly there are two types of non-return slides
1. Non- weighted – live bait
2. Weighted –dead bait
Then slide clip
It all depends on what your target specie is
If its Garrick as many are targeting now then you have to take into consideration the feeding zone of that specie
So we know it’s a top water or top column feeder so u want to put your bait in the strike zone then the clip will be best

personally i prefer clip with a balloon given the right conditions
or trow bait

Thanks Marcus
