I bought one a month ago and just started using it this weekend. Needless to say I should of been fishing it a long time ago. I caught 6 Saturday with it after throwing a few other baits with nothing. I went out this morning and caught a 5 pounder on my third cast and caught another 4 in 30 minutes on it. I was fishing it at another location and hooked a nice 4 pounder with it but lost the fish on a jump about 2ft from me. I figured it just came unhooked but I was looking at the bait and the hook was missing. The split ring was bent enough for the hook to pop out. My question is what kind of split ring is the best to use. I found some red Gamakatsu #4 hooks and the only split rings I could find was eagle claw #5(looks kinda big to me).

If I had to guess, they use size 2 split rings and size 4 hooks.
