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.
