Only concern is would a monster fish uncurl the ring portion and thus break off. However catching monster fish in these parts is rare.
I tied a clip onto my catfish rod that has 25-pound mono on it and then clipped onto a wire that was attached to an eye bolt. I broke the line before I broke the clip every time. I did break one with 50 pound braid but I am not a big fan of braid for lures except the soft plastics. I never use line that heavy when I am using hard lures for bass. If I was fishing with a line that heavy they make the clips in two sizes but I've never felt the need for the large one. Most of the time when I am using the clips I am fishing with a 10 to 15 pound line so breaking the clip is not a concern. I did catch a 15-pound catfish once on a rattle trap with a speed clip and it was no problem.
