Rope/Wire Tangling3%

“The one and only benefit that these have of being able to put them on without threading the line thru them is completely negated by the fact that the crimp connection ends up loosening after a few casts and they'll get caught up in the guides and create loops in your line when the partially falling off stopper grabs line during casts/retrieves”

Friction2%

“Too much friction on braid”

Water Resistance2%

“when they get wet for a long period of time the start to lossen or slip off of the fishing line”
