What brand and size of split rings do you guys rely upon? Anywheres where you can purchase these in bulk?

Thanks

I have had good luck with my Sampo''s so far. I have also heard good things about Buchers Super Split Rings and Wolverine Slit Rings. If I''m no mistaken, I think Muskie Mania is making them now too.

If you stay with any good brand name I think you''ll be just fine. As far as size goes I use #5''s but that''ll be open to discussion I''m sure.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

Wolverine and Bucher make the best. I have yet to have both straighten out or even get egg shaped for that matter.

Yup, I vote for Wolverine for hanging hooks and Bucher "super" rings for attaching to eyelets. Can't go wrong with either one.

P.S. The new smaller size Bucher Split ring is AWESOME!!!

Wolverine gets the nod with the triple rings. You are starting to see a lot of lures with those hanging on them. Otherwise, something unique is what Hellraiser Tackle does and puts 2 rings on so if one accidently does pull out, the other one holds it.

I can say the Bucher split rings are of excellent quality, I used work for the company that made them and they use very high quality steel and plating materials for all of his lures. If you want info on the company go to following link>>>>www.worthco.com
