I tied to a split ring once... Forget if I landed a fish and it broke on the second or if it was the first fish that snapped me off.
There may be ways to do it such as a polomar knot tied in the perfect spot but I wouldn't recommend tieing to a split ring my experience was the fight caused the line to pinch in the ring and snap. I probably tied it wrong but so will lots of other anglers.
Good luck with your product who will have their spoon available first? The race is on
Thanks for the feedback on the front split ring guys. I have never had issues with snapping off at the ring and that is what I have used for the last couple of years on all of my handmade spoons. That said, GDW, you are probably right that a lot of anglers may not think of the knot placement or use a palomar knot....and I certainly don't want to be the reason to loose someones hog! I'll take that into consideration.
Thanks.
