I got 100 Daiichi red hooks for Xmas to put on some of my bandits. How the Heck do you get them on the split rings? Is there a tool I need. I have done four in about 45 minutes.

yep split ring plier you can get at Walmart or hobby lobby.
Yep....You need to buy a good set of split ring pliers
A good pair about $20 boy save a lot head aches
look online at some of the tackle building supply stores. Like Jann's netcraft.
Some of the raphalas have them already on them
I use a set of split ring pliers I got from Basspro. They have two sizes. The ones I use are the small ones.I cut the old hooks off the lure with a pair of wire cutters.
If you wouldnt bite your fingernails, you could use them, they are handy tools
These are made by Mustad and I got them at Wally World for just a few bucks!
I like the small ones as well. I just start the existing hook in the split ring and put the new one right behind it. When the old comes off, the new is on.Quote:
