I am in the process of tweaking my tackle for the coming season. In the past I had placed split rings on the front of all of my spoons. I was recently told by a pro that if a lure comes with a split ring leave it on, if it comes without a split ring do not add one. I have also read both, that it was best to have split rings on all spoons and not to have split rings on any spoons because it hurts the action. Of course now I can't remember which spoons came with rings and which did not. So now I am removing all split rings. Any thoughts or past experiences with split rings and spoons will be appreciated.
