What do you add to your larger kastys that don't come with a split ring? Will a snap or snap swivel work just the same as a split ring?

I "STEAL" split rings off of lures I don't care for anymore....

That's what I was thinking cuz I don't wanna buy a whole bag of em. And the less hardware the better so I'd rather not use my swivels.

I do the exact same thing.

Swivels will allow them to spin, where as a split ring will make them wobble.

 

[Fordo]

snap swivels suck.

 

[slayerfish]

Yup, NO swivels, I buy bags of split rings they are cheap and my Bouyants are lacking a split ring also-

$2 for a beer-what kind of dives are you drinking in?

 

[Zman]

Six packs arent 12 bucks are they?

Bars don't sell 6 paks.

Never been able to drink much at home-guess I need a drunk or two around me for entertainment.

Do your split rings get bent open a little bit once you've put em on your big kastys? I out two rings on two kastys and they weren't as tight as they were before

I have found that good split rings stay tight. The cheaper chinese ones are soft .

Ok. I just took em off one of my older lures and attached em. You have to open so wide to get it on the bigger kastys. Do you use a split ring tool? I would imagine you do. I should probably get one.
