Newbie bait maker here....

Okay, I should be able to figure this out but I want to save having to return an order through the mail, or keeping it and reordering because I couldn't.

 

I've been making some lures, I've posted them here. The first one I made I ordered some #2 trebles and some 5mm split rings. This was with an educated guess and it seems to be the right matchup.

 

I've made a smaller lure as of late. I've ordered some #4 trebles but split rings seem to start at about 5mm and go up. There are some 3.5mm though. Sometimes they're by size in mm, sometimes they sell them by size number like hooks.

So, the question: For #4 hooks what size split ring should I order?

 

Thnx.

Size 2 and 3 are the ones I use most I have not bought any listed by mm size.

I can’t tell you off the bat, but I just look at a bait similar size and go with that. I usually have rapalas nearby for this.
