Simple question.

You're right Dan, as well the tuna clip comes attached with a dynema knot that loosens quickly

Hardline thanks for doing the googling i was too lazy to do

Tuna clips are way faster than that thing Dan. Yours is stronger. With the knot I put the tuna clip will never come off

Have you ever used the pictured locking snap? A tuna clip is faster by a couple of seconds. But we're talking about connecting a gun to a float line. This is not a connection that you need to take apart more than a couple of times throughout the day. Tuna clips have an advantage maybe when you're not using a float line and need to temporarily clip the gun to your belt. But tuna clips are bulky, and I find they dangle and stick out all over the place. Making it difficult to fit the butt of the gun into a gun rack, they get in the way sometimes when you change the grip on the gun in the water, also the tuna clip grabs the float line and doesn't allow it to turn freely making it stick out in inconvenient angles. A tuna clip wasn't designed for this application. I'd rather tie and untie a knot every time to connect the float line to my gun than use a tuna clip, then my gear is more streamlined.

sweet. Stopped at west marine on my way home, and they gave me a few ft of dyneema free.

My goodness. How did you sweet talk them into giving Dyneema away?

I am also anti Tuna Clip. A small shackle does a fine job. Or better yet. No metal, just a spliced loop of spectra on your float line, pulled through the loop on your gun (or on your breakaway setup).

Shame on you guys downsizing on gear that prevents losing your gun, here's how I rig mine, float line has a tuna clip
