I have been adding an egg shaped split ring, from Owner, to my glidebaits primarily to cut down on the friction to the line at the knot as the bait works. I am using the San Diego Jam Knot for my connection to the bait. Now none of the baits that I own have come with a split ring, but I added one because of the reason discussed earlier in my post. I am kind of brand new to this swimbait deal, but in the last couple of months I have caught numerous fish over 5 and 1 over 6lbs. In short I am currently “ate up with the swimbait bug” I am really interested in your thoughts on the pros and cons of adding split rings to these baits. Thank you, David
