JHABS,

Those doubles are the strongest split rings for their size I have ever seen and the triples are overkill (but some people like overkill).

I have not been able to destroy the doubles you sent me. And they are the ideal size for most plugs.

All of the ones sold in packages in the shops (that I have seen and used) of the same ring OD are made of thinner wire and will open, esp with a big fish when used with VMC trebles with braid line and graphite rods in strong currents. (weakest link syndrome)

I will give you a call about ordering some of the triples after the fall run for next season.

Thanks again for providing the angler with quality gear.
