What size and brand split rings do you guys and gals put on your small cranks like cranes and baby shallow raiders?

#5 tempered stainless steel split rings. I like Worth brand but overall make sure they are tempered stainless steel. Much stronger vs standard stainless steel rings. Last time I checked I had to put over 200lbs force on a #5 Worth ring to get it to open up. At that point you will straighten out your hook and/or break your line.

I use bucher rings but don't know if they are tempered stainless steel or just stainless steel.
