The Breakaway Imp is our best-selling bait clip, and for good reason. Compact, reliable, and brilliantly engineered, it’s a must-have for any serious sea angler. Designed to improve rig efficiency and casting accuracy, the Imp offers a secure, tangle-free bait release on impact — time after time.
As of 18th July 2011, every Imp is supplied with a Breakaway Fastlink clip, making it compatible with most rig setups. The Fastlink ensures a quick, strong connection and allows anglers to change leads or rigs effortlessly, even mid-session.
What makes the Imp truly special is its versatility. It’s a small, neat bait clip that fits directly into the Fastlink and can be added or removed from rigs while fishing. Whether you’re using single or multi-hook rigs, the Imp keeps your bait streamlined during the cast and guarantees clean release when it hits the water.
Key Features:
- Includes Breakaway Fastlink clip
- Quick-change design for rigs and leads
- Reliable bait release on impact with water
- Compact, lightweight, and built for distance casting
- Perfect for clipped down and cascade rigs
Engineered in the UK by Nigel Forrest, based on an original concept by Nick Meyer (Breakaway USA).

simple and clever, good item
Isaac Bryan –
Decent weight and bait clips. However, the fact they don’t come pre-built is a massive pain in the ass
