    split rings

    sometimes crankbaits new out of the package seem to have too big of split rings and the trebles get tangled up, any downside to going with rings a size smaller? i dont really see strength and action being compromised with such a small adjustment..........i could be wrong

    Re: split rings (walligator)

    good question. I've never tried changing them around, unless there was something wrong with the split ring on there. let us know how it works.

    I also hear of some folks using the speed clips. I dont know if they use split rings with them or not though.

    Re: split rings (Luke)

    just to clarify im talking about the split rings that hold the trebles to the body. i noticed 1 size smaller will usually create enough space to keep the front and back hooks from touching and getting tangeled.
