Hooks/Split Rings
Hooks/Split Rings
Trying to figure out a good replacement for my split rings and hooks on some of the LC Pointers I throw in the surf. What are you guys using that holds up fairly well in SW?

Re: Hooks/Split Rings
Owner is what I have always used.
Re: Hooks/Split Rings
Owner split rings. Currently using the VMC inline singles.
Re: Hooks/Split Rings
What are you targeting/ location/ current.
In my neck of the woods stripers to 50lbs and bluefish to 20. Upwards of a 3kt current
Rasco rings or owner rings
vmc 4x trebles
owner singles
What lucky crafts??
the flash minnow sr 190's ? great baits.
I'll use wolverines and big singles on them as well

Re: Hooks/Split Rings
The ones at lurepartsonline are the best. They have an XX-strong model (not the triple ring as its too heavy)
Re: Hooks/Split Rings
I've always been happy with Owner. Solid choice.

Re: Hooks/Split Rings
Owner are the best I have found.
Re: Hooks/Split Rings
Do not like Owner hooks in saltwater, because they rust.
Split rings are great though.
Switched completely from Owner to Gamakatsu.
Nanosmooth Coat for freshwater.
Hyper Shield for saltwater.

Gamakatsu Hyper Shield...Hmm, I've been using the 3x Eagle Claw from Walmart (dark grey)- they're 'alright'.
Best place to get the Hyper Shield?

Re: Hooks/Split Rings
I'm trying the hypershield now but the red colored eagle claws did seem to hold up better than black nickel hooks for me in salt.

Re: Hooks/Split Rings
It's DECOY split rings and trebles for me. Better strength to weight ratio, and better corossion resistence than Owner and Gama in my opinion.

Re: Hooks/Split Rings
Owner Hyperwire size 3 and STX-38zn on the FM110 Hyperwire size 4 and STX-38zn on the Surf pointer. If I run in lines the owner single replacement in 2/0 and eliminate the middle hook.
