cut vmc4x strong

cut vmc 4x strong #3 and #4. Will not come undone unless the extreme circumstances arise, and I mean extreme. No split ring necessary on certain plugs, in fact the plug builders specify no split rings. Other very good plug builders use the split rings on almost everything they make. Unless your experimenting by making your own plugs go with the plugbuilers recommendation. If the lure does not catch, switch it, but in the end there is a good argument for both ways. Some lures I have added split rings and the hooks look like dangling mess! So then I use smaller hooks or a cut vmc4x strong with absolutly no worries.
