Looking for some #2-#3 split rings for making up some Jika rigs. The hooks get caught up in the narrow gap on the Owner & Spro. In searching past posts this should not be a problem, but having the hook swing freely would seem to be better. Would the Decoys be narrower? I use Gamy EWG hooks.

The pre made Jikas with solid rings are nice, but at 6.00+ for 2 are a little steep! The Gamy hooks sold with the solid ring looked nice, but come in only 2/0 & 4/0. Having a 3/0 option would be nice. Any help would be appreciated.

You have a couple options. I use the owner #3 with 3/0 owner ewg hook. It swings freely.  The problem with this is I use it to punch weeds and the braid sometimes gets caught in the split ring. I've learned to deal with it. You can also use a light wire hook to get it to swing more freely. If your not fishing weeds, you can use a swivel also.
