Posts: 258 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! "Jackpot" John Schroeder | ||

Posts: 4053 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. ![]() | ||

Posts: 2894 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. ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Posts: 258 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. | ||
