Had the same problem and I believe you answered your own question, lack of swivel. How did I solve this??? I went wood like others have suggested.

Something else to try, I think you said previous is to go with a direct hook to the hanger but I would suggest 2 swivels in the leader.

You didnt mention if the new ring actually "broke" or did it simply come off leaving the hook & ring in da fish?

We ate our fish tonight

The yo-zuri darter is not replacable by a wood darter. Its a unique design and action
