Richizzzle Posted June 29, 2022 Report Share Posted June 29, 2022 For a few lure that i use splits and TA clips (large hopkins for example) i grab the split ring with my pliers and its much easier to get the TA clip on.

Yea I tend to do that as well but at night it’s difficult. I want to remove all my split ring for quick swap of lures but don’t want to lose action.

triumph Posted June 29, 2022 Report Share Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) I have the micro TA's in my ultralight kit and I have removed all the split rings from my lures. It doesn't affect action but if you run out of clips you'll have to use loop knots.. Which is no big deal. A Hopkins though you would probably need a big clip, might be better to keep the split ring.

I am not sure how the ta clip alone though would decrease lure action, much if any, compared to split ring directly to leader. When I was teenager, and worked at a large club in Annapolis, after hours a few of us would test our lures and techniques in the large outdoor pool. With the underwater flood lights and no overhead glare you could see them very well. snag777 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pressphotog Posted June 29, 2022 Report Share Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) Split rings on the nose of lures is the stupidest thing I have ever seen happen to fishing lures. - there I said it! . The first thing I do on a new lure is to make those go bye bye. The TA clip gives all the motion range you need and the lure fishes exactly the same way and you don't have to fight those stupid things while connecting them to your leader.

I feel having a double pivot point (split ring and TA) you could actually be dampening the plugs action. Plus you are eliminating a common failure point as well.
