Toby. I use Triple Split Rings on ALL my Plugs..... You could Tow a Truck with them. Some have caught Giant GT's to 100 lbs and others have caught LARGE Bass with NO FAILERS. If you need I know Where to Find .

Over the Last Several Years HAB'S NEEDLEFISH Have Caught More "Confirmed" 30, 40, 50, and even 60 pound Striped Bass than any other Wooden Needlefish on the Market today. 2 Over 50lbs. and 1 Over 60lbs. in 2005 alone........... "HOOK UP WITH HAB'S" Your Best Bet For BIG BASS.....

I also have had some failures.Since i started changin em all out to the 4h 5h an 5.5H I have had no problems wit bass.Blues are bad when u get a few gorilla's u get em on land an they start rollin an flippin.That'll cause some damage.usually a set o korkers an some good force ends that.Some companys like yo zuri put inferior rings on their plugs they get changed right away.Its' a by product of the low strech braided lines...hav't gone to triple on many plugs yet some plugs i think they just won't fit properly on.That could cause lure action problems as well as the ring perhaps threadin itsell on the wire which could cause failure's/i think.i wanna get me some o that Trevally action.

I had one open on a 7" bomber a couple years ago. Fish was mid-20s and was flopping on shore when it broke. Other than that never had any fail, but i dont fish in heavy current too often.

Had problems till I went to #6 splits on my plugs. Then you could pull trucks with them.

No boat, back in the suds.

I had one go Wide open Last fall toby. I reached down to pop the treble outta the fishes jaw and just pulled the treble. I was like wtf.. then I realized that the tail hook (single siwash) was planted on the fish as well, I looked at the plug, and sittin there was a nice u shaped piece of wire, that at some point must've been a split ring...

Domination takes full concentration..
