I recommend changing them over and i'll post some pics of a few ideas that can help. Now, here's a little input from someone who has been throwing Sebiles for over 4 years and recently jumped on board there pro staff. The lures are made to catch fish. The whole Sebile line up of lures are nothing like anything else out there. Every model is designed to specifically do something. This makes it hard to change certain things with out changing the baits action. Now i switch my split rings for wollverines #7 (270lb) and my hooks to vmc 4x and it still does not improve anything.....Its hook placement on the baits and the amount of pressure that we put on the fish, especially in the canals current. I have fished these baits off the boat with 7 foot rods and light line and have not had a problem, even with the black hooks. When you start putting 50-65lb braid, current, twisting fish, and meat sticks into the mix is when the split rings and hooks start to take a toll. For the amount of fish i get on these baits and the amount of big fish over the last 4 years I will continue to change the split rings and find them worth every penny. plain and simple they catch fish.

I got fish with Patrick Sebile a few weeks ago and it was a blast. It was awesome listing to stories from someone who has fished in 62 countries and has over 300 igfa world records...there was a lot to learn. So here's a few pics that might help or even spark some ideas.
