Just stared using snaps/clips with crank baits. Do you guys remove the split ring on the crankbait when adding a snap/clip or do you just attach it to the split ring?

Yes and use Owner Hyper Weld snaps/clips.

I remove all the split rings and use snaps.

I actually do both and don't find any substantial difference in the action of the baits.  JMHO.

I remove the split rings, I have been using Mustad Fastach

I leave the split rings on the bait, and use duolock snaps.

I also leave the split rings on and use Duolock.

I take ‘em off and use Tactical Angler or DuoLock

This will help explain things...
