Agree there's a lot to like about the Trust bar but it is a high Y, doesn't that contradict your earlier thoughts on high Y?
Oh right thanks! I had forgotten about that. I always make my own lines chicken line and leaders and convert the high y to low v myself so maybe the click bar is better for the original poster since he probably doesn't want to make control bar modifications. The click bar is nice a lot of people like it and it has that low v which is better for future compatibility.

I would argue that the clickbar does not support low V out of the box.
You need to remove the line splitter and without that you get to much wear where the lines exit the PU tubing.
You cannot put the line splitter that comes with the bar lower because of the stopper ball that cannot be removed without modifying the bar.

There are also lots of other (durability) issues with the bar so I would not recommend.

I would personally get any bar you like get a universal line splitter and add pigtails where needed.

Sadly I haven’t seen seen the perfect bar yet so it’s always going to be a trade off in regards to features.
