EC Musky Dude Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Probably gonna get put in the dumb question bin, but I have trouble attaching larger spinner blades to the split ring on a swivel. Maybe too big a blade and too small a split ring, but I tend to end up with a split ring so stretched it won't compress back to normal afterwards. Any tips? Or is it just the big blade, small ring issue? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dungeonhawk Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 i hate split rings in general, they are so freakin hard to get open even with a split ring plyers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 What size split ring and blade are you talking about? I use size 2 split rings for everything up to a #4 willow blade, anything larger I use a size 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC Musky Dude Posted March 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Last time I tried I used the size #2 BB swivels from stamina. Think I tried with a #5 willowleaf blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 If you're getting the size 2 swivels from stamina with the rings already attached then you shouldn't have a problem since they are a size 3. Open the split ring and slide the blade on using the thin profile, then turn the blade slightly to get the end of the ring in the blade hole and continue working it around. I get my swivels from Worth direct, without the rings so I can use different size rings for small or large blades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky_Stalker Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Just use a snap swivel, then you can change blades easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
