Split Rings
Mark Harris:
Yeah patience is the key Aaron. First thing I do when with a deckie I do not know, is watch his first split ring opening. That determines whether he gets another chance with the pliers :).
Out of interest, Ten Mouth/NT do a 256 lb split ring which will be fantastic quality if their swivels are anything to go by.

interesting post people, had this little experience in the weekend, compliments of the gt's off point lookout.
Brand new Varivas Power Ring 300lb - left gaping! The pic does a bit a justice, but the gap between the turns was open enough that i could get that ST76 out, no probs!
still landed the fish, so i'm not complaining.

Looks down-right defective! Wow!
Never had a prob with Varivas rings... Decoy are excellent...
Kurt de Villiers:
yeah, i've never had a glitch or prob with either decoy or varivas split rings, so i'm just gonna put this one down to 'beginner inexperience/no respect for other peoples gear/go hard or go shopping wit ya missus!
Btw, i wasn't the angler
Jay Burgess:
I tried Decoy for a while but found they deform a little easier than the owners so I switched back. Mainly use #10 and #11 and now avoid the #11H as the gauge is just too thick and they're frustrating to get on at times without deforming the ring.
Brandon Khoo:
Does anyone know whether the Decoys and Owners are coming out from the same factory? They sure look very similar
