Comments: Awaken your topwater walking bait. Straight 40lb braid bent out my treble hooks but the #2 ring (39lb rated) didn't, the bite was too good to stop and add a leader.

Comments: If you're wanting to hone your topwater game, get some of these. No more loop knots or snaps for me, you can directly tie onto these without worry of anything failing you because you forgot to retie or swap a snap. With these, I can effortlessly walk a pop-x with these in size 2.

Comments: I began using a #2 tear drop on my Rio Ricos in the summer and am very pleased with the action after recently changing out the regular split rings with the tear drops on all of my XRap jerk baits.  I'm using a #2, which I believe is rated for 39 pounds.  It sounds like overkill but it is small and lightweight with a fairly thin wire.  Haven't caught anything larger than 7 pounds, but I haven't had an issue of any kind.  And the action of the lures is outstanding!

Comments: Concept is good, but the split rings are very weak.  It was very easy for me to bend the wires apart with my split ring pliers.  I won't keep these on the lures because of how flexible the rings are because I don't trust the strength.  I expected a stronger wire.
