Jim_S Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 I'm thinking of using split rings to attach treble hooks w/bucktails to my spinners. (I use bucktails and/or hackle and/or marabou on every spinner I make.) Split rings look like a good way to rehook the lure, without taking everything apart, when the bucktail gets wasted. I looked at some store spinners (Meeps & others) and they don't use split rings on most of their spinners. Is there a reason they don't ... i.e cost ? Or am I better off not using split rings for some reason I'm not aware of? If it matters, most of my in-line spinners are 1/4 oz (#10 treble) , 1/2 oz (#8 treble) and 3/4 oz (# 6 & 4 treble).

musky_man Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Jim, The reason is -- they want you to come back and buy another when the hook is wasted. Use a good quality, size 7, heavy duty, zinc coated s/r and you will be fne. You can get 1000 at Worth for about 45 bucks. http://www.worthco.com/fish/ If you are making really big baits, you can use the Wolverines -- but they are thick and for big baits only. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 This guy get's them from Worth, but only charged me $26 for 1000 size 7. He buys in bulk & then splits up the order and re-ships. Last time he only had size 7 and would only sell 1000 in a pack, but it looks like he will get #5 and make smaller packs. They are the same heavy duty split ring that is also know a Bucher rings. http://muskie.outdoorsfirst.com/board/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=21925&posts=2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
