Location: Madison, WI | Hi guys,
I'm putting together a Musky Tackle Online purchase and want to get some split rings (most likely wolverine).
However, without looking at them in person, I don't know which size I need. I will be using them to attach 4/0 and 5/0 trebles to depth raiders, Triple D's, 9 inch grandmas, and 10 inch Jakes etc.
Can somebody please tell me what is the correct size for this application??? I think MTO offers them in size 5, 6, or 7.
Thanks in advance for any info!

As long as you're in a question answering mood....
What's the best reel for DC-10s, in your opinion?

Location: Detroit River | Get the Bucher split rings. The Wolverine rings are too wide to put on lures that have a small hole on the hook hangers or line tie.

Location: Land of the Musky | I think the Bucher rings are made by the Worth company. They are really good rings. Tempered stainless steel rings and super strong. I tested a few with a pull type balance and a pair of pliers, at around 180# of pull the ring opened up and sent my pliers into my sheet rock wall and me flipping back and over a chair.  They are good rings... |

Location: Yahara River Chain | Jackpot about that reel....
i would do best to have you out on the lake and show you. It will open your eyes.
Oh yeah when that happened it will come as a shock to you. It might be helpful if you bring a towel along as you will need it when I get done with you. :) . |

Location: Madison, WI | Gerard,
Don't worry about the towel. After watching your canoe capsizing abilities last summer, I always try to have one handy when you're around....
Speaking of which, if you want to get out on Mendota on Thursday, give me a call.
Jackpot. |
