These are 1/4 and 3/8 oz. and are 4-5" long. The craft hair really dances on these. I think it hunt's more with the split ring too, but believe it can be a weak link. Need small but strong rings.

See the first picture of the Asian carp?  That’s the free jig you added to my order. Thx!

Now you're talking !

You're not supposed to use split rings between the blade and head though.  So say the chatterbait experts.  

I've heard that too but disagree. I'm no "expert", but a split ring seems to let the blade vibrate slower.  It's more of a wobble than a vibration, like a hot n tot vs a lipless bait.  I use both kinds all the time and have not noticed a difference in how many fish I catch.  I personally prefer the wider wobble.  It thumps in the water better.

you have to use a split ring with that style hook

I have visions of the lakes and ricers around St louis looking like Opening day at a trout park every weekend all summer long.
