Breakaway OTG Impact Clip: The Ultimate “Off-The-Ground” Release System

For anglers who favor powerful “Off-The-Ground” (OTG) casting styles, keeping a baited hook securely clipped until it hits the water is a constant challenge. At Gerry’s Fishing, we find the Breakaway OTG Impact Clip to be the definitive solution. This ingenious bit of kit is specifically designed to stay clipped during the high-compression phase of an OTG cast—where slack line or rod tip movement often causes standard clips to fail—yet it guarantees a clean release the moment it impacts the sea.

Bright red for high visibility, these clips come in a pack of four and include an integrated fast link for your lead. Whether you are using massive pulley rigs for specimen fish or long, finessed traces for distance, the OTG Impact Clip ensures your rig stays streamlined in the air and tangle-free on the seabed.

Why the OTG Impact Clip is a Must-Have

Fail-Safe Retention: Unlike traditional clips that rely on constant tension, the OTG design is built to withstand the momentary slack or “rod snap” that occurs during the initial stages of a powerful ground cast.
Large Bait Capacity: This clip is a favorite for big-fish hunters. It can comfortably house large hooks (up to 8/0), making it the perfect choice when using substantial baits for Bass, Cod, or rays.
Integrated Fast Link: The built-in link allows you to swap your leads in seconds, catering to changing tidal conditions without having to re-tie your rig.
Clean Presentation: By ensuring the hook only releases upon impact with the water, it prevents the bait from “spinning” in the air, which preserves your bait’s integrity and increases your total casting distance.

Pro Tip from the Gerry’s Team

The “Bait-Point” Lock: To ensure 100% reliability, always leave the bend of the hook clear of the bait so it can slide out of the clip effortlessly. For added security during an extra-powerful cast, put a small piece of bait (like a tiny bit of squid or a bait elastic wrap) right on the hook point. This prevents the hook from accidentally “falling” out of the holder if your line momentarily slackens as you move the rod into position.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this for pendulum casting?

While specifically designed for OTG (Off-The-Ground), many anglers find it highly effective for pendulum casting as well. Its robust “hold” makes it one of the most secure clips in the Breakaway range regardless of style.

Will it release with very light baits?

Yes. The mechanism is triggered by the impact of the clip hitting the water’s surface, which forces the release arm up. It does not rely on the weight of the bait to pull itself free.

What is the maximum hook size?

It is designed to take hooks up to 8/0. However, if you are using extremely thick-wired forged hooks, always check that the wire diameter fits comfortably into the clip’s recess before heading to the beach.

Do they come in other colors?

These are primarily supplied in Red, making them very easy to find in your tackle box or if you drop one on the shingle at night!
