I don't know what size head weight your dealing with so will give you two......first for the 1/32 Oz Roadrunners I use a 00 blade by Worth and the split rings I use on that is #2 SS and I use the same size on my 1/16 and even 1/8 oz heads. Then all I change is the blade size and for 1/32 I use a 0 and 1/16 a #1. I also said I use Worth because them and Hagen have some difference in sizes, like the smallest blade at Worth that I use is a 0 and at Hagen I believe it's a 00.

I short your split rings are too small for me, lol!

I use 4141*Stainless Jump Rings 1/8th" from Lure parts On Line. Been using them for a few years and never lost a blade.
They are incredibly easy to use.
