Micro Split ring tool Cape Town (Where to buy)

[RobinF]

Hey Guys, I am trying to change all our lures to single hooks. The only problem is that many of the lures are 4" and 5" lures and the split rings are TINY. I need a 'micro' split ring tool. Does anyone have a suggestion of who to try in Cape Town that would stock this? I have tried Tuckers and they don't have one small enough.

Basil Manning in Durban stock a Halco  split ring pliers that should do the job. Find out who stocks Halco products in CT & check if they have the pliers.

The Rapala split ring pliers are also great for small rings.

Got a small one , Rovex .


Think it was Somerset Sports or FS.

Thanks Guys, yeah it needs to be tiny. A lot of the lures are StrikePro, and they use really small split rings.

I bought an el cheapo - and then ground the top jaw to a thinner point to fit into the small split rings - left the bottom jaw the same (using the orientation in Reefs pic

If I can't get one small enough, then I'll do what you did Ziggy, thanks.

Ziggy best to buy the el cheapos at the rate you are losing your stuff!!

like this - and you can obviously grind it smaller - but this works fine for me and small rings
