Yo zuri an bomber seem to use what ever hook an split ring they have.i have seen yo-z's crystal minnows in the package with what looked like a 3/0 hook.before any plastic plug goes in my bag it gets a hook an s-ring overhaul.the hooks on a mag darter are VMC's but not a 4x hook.they won't hold up to a good fish or any pull.for the most part tho on the finish type plugs they get a size 4h or 5h Not sure who makes em butthey are the good ones.

Habs, trust me, I love that you put only the best into your plugs; finish, wood, wire, swivels, rings, etc... I just hadn't had the issue yet. To be honest, I am pretty suprised the rings haven't burned me yet. Like I said, I'll be switching over a lot of my rings to triples soon. Let me know when you order some next. I'd love to give them a solid workout this fall. Drop me a line this weekend if my other stuff is ready. I'll be in RI all weekend, then Cutty next Thursday.  |

im not surprised.. You know how to fish properly  anyone who knows how to fish right shouldnt be opening up split rings.. if they are, they are ripping alot of bass lips. Thats what your drag is for  Maybe if you hang up on a rock or something...
The only time i have even slightly bent a split ring was when i lifted one of Goosefish's mooses out of the water by grabing the needlefish.. |

I had it happened once on fish that was close to 30lbs, but that once was good enough for me. I dont like to loose fish even though sometimes theres nothing we can do about it. I do like to be prepared the best I can. Murphy's law that which can go wrong will go wrong.
