We had the black or locking clip up front with those church clips in the rear, with our 30lb power pro no matter how tight I settle rear it would still slip sometimes and had to double wrap.

I've had the metal adjustable superclips for over 9 yrs before the padding split (and that included tourney fishing). As far as slipping, I've only ever seen it with the plastic Church clips. I've shown many folks how I can put #30 braid into the clip fully at the rear. I can clamp the clip into one of my vises and the braid will cut your skin before you can get it to budge trying to make the line slip. I've always found slippage due to the line not being fully into the clip by the screw. Had it happen many time taking folks out. I show them again how. No more slips.
That is what works for me.

Not related to the clips (I use the OR-18 in the front and the OR-16 in the back and wrap them both) but be sure your doing the "upgrade" on your Offshore boards, it really does make a difference how they pull the hard diving baits like Bandits and heavy snap or keel weights. I was able to do mine with no new parts, just drilled a new hole in the flag for the wire to hook in.

WI Walleye, You are right on the upgrades.. I have the OR -18 lever clamp front on my off shores, and the OR-16 on the rear. You are also right on the hard diving cranks.. I marked my line ( Power Pro braid) where it clipped to the front clip added my slack and clipped to the rear. Every time I checked it the front clip maintained its grip. It was the rear clip that slipped often and that had to be due to the force of the crank bait.. I rap the rear one now and it is cured. I may just start rapping the front one too like you said. Once you get used to it it should be quick and easy.. If ones eyes and fingers still work good and I struggle here a bit..

Maybe I did not have it far enought back. I put the new flags on and moved the tattle spots, I have not been out yet with them but my brother says they pull much better
