Breakaway Twinlink Clips

Overview

Breakaway Twinlink Clips are a double-ended quick-change connector made from stainless steel, designed for joining terminal-tackle components together. Unlike a conventional clip with a single attachment point, the Twinlink has an elongated body with a connection point at each end.

This means two separate components, each fitted with a suitable metal eye, can be linked together while still retaining a quick-change function. The product carries the code TL1 and is supplied in packs of 10, with a natural metallic stainless-steel finish.

Retailer-published measurements list the clip at 24 mm long, though this figure comes from specialist retailer data rather than a confirmed Breakaway manufacturer specification.

Perfect For

The Twinlink is specifically used for connecting Breakaway Impact Leads to Breakaway Lead Lifts, a genuine documented application for anglers building modular shore rigs. It's also the connection component within Breakaway's Proper Pulley rig system, where it links the leader using what Breakaway describes as a rugged stainless-steel connection.

More broadly, UK sea anglers use the Twinlink for quick-changing shore-fishing rigs and leads, and for joining any two components that both have suitable metal eyes. It suits anglers who want a removable metal-to-metal connection rather than tying components directly into the rig.

Technical Insight

The double-ended configuration is what separates the Twinlink from a standard single-ended quick-change clip such as Breakaway's Fastlink. By offering an attachment point at both ends, it's purpose-built to join two components rather than simply attach a single lead or rig to the main line.

This makes it a genuinely different tool to a basic lead clip: where the Fastlink functions as a quick-change lead/rig link, the Twinlink is classed as a double-ended quick-change connector, giving shore anglers flexibility to build and swap modular rig sections without re-tying knots.
