I've seen those either about 2 years ago in the catalog of a great German mailorder tackle shop , looks quite useful there
.
But to me it's too much headache , because you must match your line pull test to the splitrings , the line , leader and interconnected swivels must always be slightly higher rated as these splitrings .
This means , that one should only fish certain lures on certain rods , that have the right line on , since they have these rings in different sizes and ratings to fit different demands .
And to rig even only my most frequently used lures with these splitrings , would probably cost a small fortune
!
Even once heard or read somewhere , that someone had heated his hook bends to glow with a welding burner or soldering torch to render the steel softer .
So when snagged up , he'd just straighten out or snap the hooks with an appropriate braid to free his lure .
Might not suggest this method , unless you're 100% sure , that there are only smaller fish around
!
