I’m switching stuff over to the SU Zero rings. Do you think stepping down to size 5 would make a difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put them side by side for size comparison (maybe ~1.5mm OD my guess). Personally, I'd be more concerned with the hooks, I don't like cutting points so the 41s would have to go before I ever fished it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m running #1 STY-35MF right now but I’m going to be switching all of them to the STX-45ZN #2 since the Gen 3 have rotating hook hangers and keep things simple only having to buy one style of hook for all of my Gen 2 and Gen 3 6” wakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse74 Posted December 7, 2021 Report Share Posted December 7, 2021 Keep in mind some baits with large diameter hook hangers like a .092 might need that size 6 for room inside the ring. BASS_SWINGER 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planning on using the STX-45ZN for crankdowns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
