Split Ring, Lipless Crank Baits

If I’m using a snap like a Fast Snap or Cross Lock is it better to hook it to the split ring or direct to the lure?

I would go direct with a snap/lock.

As I recall, I always thought they said to put it in the directly to the lure either way, with a snap or line.

not to derail the thread,but what is up with the split rings pulling apart?? anyone have this problem besides me???

I have had this happen twice this year,once on a rapala,and once on a bass pro wanna be lure,one pulled apart on a twenty plus eye,and the other gave way on a forty inch plus northern.

the one on that failed on an eye was the rapala dancer series,the other one,a bass pro look alike pulled apart on a northern that would of been my pb,it was caught on the center hook and let go at boat side,when I got the lure in the boat,I swear the ring acted like it had no tempering at all.

I remove the split ring from all of my lipless cranks and either tie direct or quick snap straight to the lure.
