The also provide more a natural movement to your hard bait over tying your line directly to the bait’s line eye. Lightweight and extremely strong, the Kahara Micro Split Rings won’t add undue weight to your lure either.
Please note: The measurements for these split rings are much smaller than similar sizes in other brands.

Comments: I think a No 5 split ring should be 7.5 mm OD, which is what I was expecting. Instead, I received several packages on No 5's that are 6 mm OD which makes a huge difference. I tried putting No 4 hooks on them but they would not close up right after using split ring pliers to open them. Head for the trash. Lesson learned.

Comments: As posted by others, these split rings are smaller than some other well known brands. These seem to be metric mm sized. Not only are these smaller, they are also lighter duty rings. The #4.5 is rated at 5kg (11#) and the #5 is rated at 8kg (18#). I intend to use these for very small lures to keep the hooks from catching each other, but I won't use these on anything with a #6 or larger treble.

Comments: No. Just no. Unlike most items I've bought at TW, these are really quite bad. I bought the 3.5 and 4.5 black nickel rings. On my first attempt to use (several) of them the black coating chipped off, the rings were stiff and didn't open properly, and when opened were then bent and refused to spring back to their original shape. Tried to save some money (bought six packs), but these were a waste. Into the trash

Comments: An excellent product! Strong wire, yet not thick. A size 6 ring (26 pounds test) is perfect for your average size lure, but not for larger (over 1 oz.) baits.

Comments: I'd say these are sized in mm, not the standard, head scratching sizing that most other manufacturers use. So yea, if you buy a size 4, it won't be nearly as large as an Owner #4. BUT, these are high quality split rings. A size 5 or 6 is great for most standard sized baits, but none are big enough for heavy duty swimbait use.

Comments: I'll second that! They are way too small for most (99.99%)bass lures. I bought one of each in 4,3.5,4.5 not knowing the real size and they turned out to be way too small. The quality looks to be top notch though.

Comments: warning! these are not standard sized! i got the #4 and they are teeny tiny...much smaller than even the smallest owner hyperwire split rings (the #2). they look like quality rings but even the largest size available is too small.
