[@JonnyPew]

Thank you for explaining split ring sizes. I've been having much difficulty with choosing the right size for my lures and your video helped a lot.

I will for sure be looking up your other vids...Thanks a bunch !!!!..and Oh..just became a new sub.....

[@joshuarogers4428]

I’ve been looking at split rings recently and the sizes are hard to decifer. Thanks for this video! I now know that I need size 3’s for most of my cranks.

[@mikeobryant3367]

Good info on an obscure topic! Thanks👍

You added a subscriber with this video. Well done! Exactly the information I was looking for. Thank you

[@rickvaldez9282]

Thank you Jen it was very informative and you cleared it up for me .

I've bought so called 5mm ID split rings from different companies and I've yet to get what I have ordered. Every batch has been either larger or smaller, mostly smaller and in round wire when I've ordered flat wire! I've had to stop including the splits and hooks because of this reason. Thank you for such an interesting video and it's given me ideas of when I order 'more' split rings. I've given the useless rings to a local school who use split rings in their Tec classes.

You suggested #5 for bigger swimbaits what size eye-hooks and or options would you suggest are appropriate with a #5 split-ring?

[@nicholasholmes3500]

This might be a silly question, but are you talking for the line tie only or for hook attachment as well? I'm trying to figure out what to order for attaching treble hooks.

[@Jekyll424]

Not silly at all. I’m talking about all of them. They are generally all the same, with exception to the nose (line tie) if you’re wanting to get a set up similar to the way Lucky Craft or Strike King does it, using and elongated split ring on the nose. But I believe that’s still the same “size” number as well, just a different split ring

@@Jekyll424 awesome, thank you!

[@nickcourt4735]

[@johnthefisherman]

first ! i just switched out the rings on my zander lures tbh i had to eyeball it the tackleshop didnt have the gamakatsu rings that are on the spro moonrakers and went with 6mm inner diameter from mustad . it panned out perfectly size wise ^^

[@rockfisher]

Best explanation ever. Thank you very much 🙏👍🫶🏻

[@toddlisby1018]

I am new to airbrushing. I was wondering if you could provide your top color choices for airbrushing baits?

[@Jekyll424]

A basic color set is a great start, along with fluorescent yellow, orange and green.

What size split ring should I get for my 4 inch surf lure

@@Jekyll424 thank u

[@donaldadler5149]

Can you recommend a good brand of split ring pliers? Have tried several different brands, and none seem to be of real quality. Great video.

[@Jekyll424]

Mine are inexpensive from Bass Pro

[@cincinnatiking8008]

Very Helpful! Thank you

[@MrArcher0]

I though the American stuff was measured in 16th of an inch. So a size 4 would be 1/4” ID ( inside diameter )

[@Dougwoz1]

Does anyone know what a Inside /or/ outside Micrometers are? You want to know the size try using one.

[@Jekyll424]

Calipers are fantastic when they're affordable, but not everyone can afford a decent one. Great thought though

[@paulbowkunowicz6960]

awesome Jenn...

[@paulbowkunowicz6960]

Black Owner Hyper wire and Spro Power Split rings is all I use...owner never spring apart...anything Stainless will

[@Baylessfishes]

Thanks again!

[@1MoreFish]

Nicely done. At least I now know I'm not going crazy!

[@brucehamlin5733]

What is your favorite brand of Split Rings?

[@Jekyll424]

I use the stock that I buy from Shortys, but my all time fave is Owner HyperWire when I can afford them

[@tentingaroundflorida]

Wow. That can get confusing quick
