VMC Crankbait snaps

[ajschn06]

I picked up some of these on my latest order.  For those of you who use them, do you attach them to the split ring or remove the split ring?

If you are going this route, remove all the split rings.  If you don't, it has a tendency to run crooked and not at the depth it should.

^ at best. At worst it will find its way out of round split rings and youll lose a lure

I don’t remove my split rings. For the most part I’m using them on X Deep cranking baits. But my Deep Divers are primarily Strike Kings. Strike King Split Rings are oval. But my round split ring have not presented a problem. Strike King, Rapala, Bomber and Bandit cranks run pretty true. May have to slightly tune one every once in awhile. Crankbaits can be an issue if you are trying to run them on some fast and X-fast action rods. Your crankbaits will not run true. I know what works for me and it’s not those actions. Topwater baits I use NO snaps. But to each his own.
