Split rings seem to be a personal thing. Some like them, some don't. Not sure what you mean by putting the front hook on the front swivel or the middle one. If you are putting a bucktail on the tail with no hook, there are only two hooks left to put on. If you are only putting one hook on the belly, put it on the front swivel. Stripers are head hunters so you want a hook right where they will hit.
