If you upgraded the split rings and it still busted open, perhaps you are horsing them in too much? This has never happened to me before but then again I don't get too often these days...

I don't think the drag is the problem, it wasen't that tight. I would think that the shock (40 pound) would break before the split.  |

Most likely Yo-zuri has gone yo-cheapy.I would suggest plunking down the dough on a Tattoo darter and just not have that worry anymore.

I have seen with my own eyes a Yozuri Surface cruiser with split rings that were demolished after catching a few fish. The split rings were completely opened. It looks like the hooks are ok but for some reason, they use cheap split rings.

I upgrade hooks (not 3x) an splitrings right out the pack on yo moma's dartah's.had em open before.be sure to use extra strong splitrings.An watch on upsizing on that lure you will kill the action.

So this year I upgraded to triple splits and VMC hooks, but tonight a big fish ripped the belly hook out again
|
If fish are opening 3X split rings, my guess is you are doing something wrong. Its damn near impossible to bust 3X heavy duty split rings, unless its a defect of somekind |
