One thing I do is thread in a swivel onto the split rings as added weight. That way I'm not actually switching out the trebles.

fir finesse options - a double split ring or heavier gauge rings work. I've even seen people squashing tungsten putty into the 3 hooks nook to add weight discretely.slipperybob wrote: ↑Mon Aug 12, 2024 4:32 pmOne thing I do is thread in a swivel onto the split rings as added weight.

You just reminded me of those things, I used to do way back then. At first it was merely replacing the split rings for stronger ones and the double split rings was originally intended to extend the hook swing.Slazmo wrote: ↑Tue Aug 13, 2024 4:09 amfir finesse options - a double split ring or heavier gauge rings work.
