Product Information
Full details
The PikePro Quick Change Rig Clips are designed for predator anglers who need to rapidly swap bait poppers, sinkers, and weights while maintaining an unobtrusive profile. These clips are ideal for streamlining your terminal tackle setup, though users should note they are specifically intended for bait and weight attachments rather than securing traces to a main line.

FAQs
Can I use these to attach my wire trace to my main line?
No. These are designed for weights and bait attachments. For main line to trace connections, use PikePro Coastlock Swivels (Q27).
What is the best way to rig the bait with these clips?
We recommend using a Deadbait Needle (Q87) to thread your rigging wire through the bait, then attaching the clip directly to the wire trace.
Are these clips suitable for saltwater use?
Yes, but you must rinse them thoroughly with fresh water after every trip to maintain their performance and prevent corrosion.
Do these clips come in different sizes?
The Q78 is a standardized size designed for universal predator fishing applications.
Will these clips cause tangles?
Their compact, low-profile design is specifically engineered to minimize tangles compared to larger, bulkier swivels or clips.
Troubleshooting
Clip is difficult to open or close.
Check for debris or silt inside the hinge. Rinse with fresh water and clear any obstructions.
Clip seems loose after heavy use.
Inspect the tension arm for signs of metal fatigue. If the clip does not snap shut firmly, it should be replaced.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, first prepare your bait using a standard rigging wire. Thread the wire through the bait using a Deadbait Needle, then secure your chosen weight or popper into the rig clip. Once the clip is connected to the wire trace, ensure the locking mechanism is fully seated. While these clips are made from high-quality materials, we recommend rinsing them with fresh water after fishing in brackish or saltwater environments to prevent corrosion. Store them in a dry tackle box to maintain the integrity of the spring-tension mechanism.
