Can't add anything there.

Owner stuff all the way around Russ.

3x stainless steel size 3

Size is an issue too, size 3 for a 2/0 Owner st-41?

Remember, the bottom hardware on a slammer that these attach to, is very thick.

I jacked up a couple of Hyper Wires trying to get them on a slammer.  I will check to see what size I ended up using when I get home and get back to you in the morning.

Sorry about that, I totally forgot to get back to you. I checked and I use #7 on my Slammers.  The smaller sizes didn't close back to normal after being opened enough to get on the eye screws. Just make sure you have some split ring pliers unless you intend on splitting your thumbnail from your thumb ;)

On my slammers, I just open up the screw eye itself, slip the ring over and close the eye.

don't use split rings , get yourself some offshore angler ''duolocks'' snaps , size 3 , they are 40# rated and work fantastically well , i think T-RIG uses them also . i hate split rings , i like to even take the split-rings off of crankbaits too , i then use the size 1 rated at 20# . hope this helps .... ;)http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_30043_151005009_151000000_151005000_151-5-9?ordProd=Y&CMID=TOP_selectitems#itemDetail

I think LBH is asking about hardware to attach the hooks.

On my slammers, I just open up the screw eye itself, slip the ring over and close the eye.

That's always an option. On some of my saltwater plugs, the hooks are cut and slipped on, then crimped back.

Personally, I've heard awesome feedback about the Wolverine triple split rings...
