Most of the duo-lock snaps I have are from many years ago, likely purchased from Backwaters in Lexington or Walmart. They are no longer in their commercial packaging, so I'm not sure of the manufacturer.

Size doesn't factor in, for me .... since I'm using them primarily to attach leader lines to the main line and cranks to the ends of leaders, but I know I didn't buy the "smallest" size. They're probably in the 20lb test range, if that's of any help. The brass snap swivels in the same pound test range would work, if all you want them for is to put on the ends of your main lines to attach leaders, and they are cheaper in price. Most of my Pushing rods have heavy pound test braid on them, and I use 6lb test leaders, so anything in the 15-20lb test range for a snap/clip works fine for me. Even my long rods/reels with mono have at least 10lb test mono, so the leaders should break before they do, or before the clip/snap opens (fails).
