What Size Split Rings For A Jika Rig?

Featured Replies

Thats the same way I have mine. Im going too use a Duo Lock Snap to connect it to my line. So I dont have to worry about knot damage.

Those turned out very nice, I did change the original design of mine to something more similar to yours, can't wait to get these in the water.

This looks real good. For you guys experimenting, I think you'll also find that skinny weights work best for this.

Check this one out. Jika using a snap to the weight. Got this pic from the web. I like the idea.

My only concern with these duolock snaps is that they make the overall rig less weedless. Since these will be dragged on the bottom, the snap will pick up lots of weeds when it gets warmer. Think about it, would you put a duolock snap in front of your texas rig or attached to the weight on the bottom of your drop shot rig?

Berkley Crosslock snaps would work better. I like the idea - adjust the weight to the situation, quickly.

The crosslock snaps would be my choice also.

Pretty cool going to have to get them a go where do you buy split rings at?

I am looking for #1 split rings for this rig. The Owner's at Tackle Warehouse only go down to #2. Any suggestions?

Here is how I did mine...

I used a swivel instead of a second split ring. Seems to work well for me

Thoughts?

I use the #1 split rings for mine and a Mojo "rig saver" wire. If I get hung-up, it strips the weight and I at least get my hook back.

A single split ring for vertical hook eyes and double split ring for horizontal eyes like EWGs.

You can use just about any style weight for that matter, even a tungsten bullet weight.

Tried a few different styles of these and to be honest they all fished just fine. The one thing I did notice is that in my opinion the heavier weighted rigs 3/8 and 1/2 fished the best.

This is a picture of what I ended up with.
