Sakura Split Rings
Reliable and Lightweight The Essential Lure Connection
The Sakura Split Rings are the standard-bearer for everyday lure maintenance and rigging. Crafted from high-quality stainless steel, these rings strike the perfect balance between strength and weight. While the X-Strong version is built for heavy-duty combat, this standard version is designed to be lightweight, ensuring it doesnt dampen the delicate action of smaller hard baits, spoons, or topwater lures.
The sleek Nickel finish provides a smooth surface that reduces friction on the hook eye and lure tow-point, while offering the necessary corrosion resistance for both freshwater and saltwater environments.

Where & How to Use Them
-
Maintaining Lure Action: On finesse lures (like small crankbaits or jerkbaits), a heavy ring can make the lure nose-dive or ruin its suspension. These lightweight rings ensure the lure swims exactly as the manufacturer intended.
-
Replacing Rusted Hardware: After a season of use, stock rings can become brittle or corroded. Swapping them out for these stainless steel rings is a cost-effective way to refresh your tackle box.
-
Rigging Assist Hooks: These are ideal for attaching assist hooks to small metal jigs for LRF or Street Fishing, providing a secure but low-profile connection that wont spook wary fish.
-
General Tackle Repairs: A must-have in any seat box or lure bag for emergency repairs to spinners, spoons, or even attaching tags to zippers.
Gerrys Pro Tip:
These are my go-to for freshwater fishing. When Im targeting Perch or Chub, I want my lures to be as responsive as possible. Using a standard Sakura Split Ring instead of a heavy-duty one keeps the weight down, which is vital when youre using suspending lures that need to sit perfectly still in the water column during the pause!
