azfisher Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 Orange are for the smaller rings, up to about size 4-5, the green will cover 5,6 and 7. Those are the largest sizes I've used with the green ones. I just bought a pair of Xurons and don't like them at all. The Texas Tackle pliers seem to hold the ring open at about 90* from the tip of the pliers,. The Xuron angles the ring back towards the shaft of the pliers, back towards you and I found them extremely hard to handle the rings when installing and stuck the first two hooks in my hand, haven't picked em up since Unclefish4life 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't warp or get loose/misaligned like the others I used. Orange will cover most of your needs but I have used my green pair more and more as I continue to go down this rabbit hole that is swimbaiting and bigger baits. Great investment.

Mossypumpkin Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 Pm me your address and I’ll send you a pair. Pretty sure I have a pair of green ones I got and absolutely hated them. I was exceptionally unimpressed. CG_Fishes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevro1et Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 I had a cheapie Made in China pair, then upgraded to the blue handle Xurons. I like 'em, haven't had a need to try the Texas Tackle ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
