Split Rings & Solid Rings

Split Rings & Solid Rings for Secure Connections

Split rings and solid rings are essential terminal tackle components used to create strong, reliable connections between lures, hooks, leaders and assist rigs. Popular across lure fishing, jigging, popping and offshore applications, quality rings help anglers maximise strength while maintaining natural lure action and presentation.

Split rings are commonly used to attach hooks, trebles and accessories to hardbody lures, metal slugs and stickbaits, allowing for quick replacement and custom rigging. Solid rings provide a seamless, ultra-strong connection point for leaders, assist hooks and heavy-duty jigging setups where maximum strength and durability are required. From light estuary fishing through to targeting kingfish, tuna, samson fish and other hard-fighting species, the right ring can make a significant difference in overall tackle performance.

How To Choose Split & Solid Rings

Choose ring sizes and breaking strains to suit your lure weight, leader strength and target species. Smaller rings are ideal for finesse fishing and lightweight lures, while larger heavy-duty models are designed for jigging, casting and offshore fishing. Always select high-quality corrosion-resistant rings for saltwater use and ensure all components are matched to your tackle setup.
