i have several LC sammys,some have o rings to tie the line to some don't.are they suppose to have them or does it matter or hurt the action.

For me, walking the dog is much easier if I tie direct to the lure.

Interesting... for me it is the opposite.

You can use a snap to replace the O-ring or just tie a loop knot.

I prefer the loop knot especially with the Sammy and the Spook.

Try them both ways and then decide which is better for you.  Most walking baits work better with a ring or loop knot, but I make one that walks  better with a snug tie to the lure.

I use a Berkley snap. I get better action with the snap than direct tie.
