The Tiny Connection That Holds Everything Together
A split ring is the smallest piece of terminal tackle on your rig, and one of the most critical. It connects your hook to the lure, your swivel to the jig, your snap to the diving plug. A weak split ring fails under load and the fish swims away with your hardware.
AFW Mighty Mini Split Rings are stainless steel with a tight spring action that keeps the ring closed under pressure. They do not corrode open or lose tension over time. Eight sizes from 24 lb to 230 lb cover everything from inshore lures to heavy offshore jigs. Stock the sizes you use most and swap hooks with confidence.

Stainless Steel Construction
Full stainless steel resists saltwater corrosion that weakens cheaper plated rings. The material maintains its spring tension and structural integrity through repeated saltwater exposure and the stress of fighting fish.
Tight Spring Action
The ring coils maintain firm contact so the ring stays closed under load. Open the ring with pliers, slide on your hardware, and the ring snaps shut with authority. No gaps, no play, no weak points.
Eight Sizes for Every Application
Size #1 at 24 lb for light inshore lures. Size #8 at 230 lb for heavy offshore jigs and trolling plugs. Six sizes in between cover the full range. Match the ring to your expected load and hook size.

What size split ring do I need? +
Match the ring to your heaviest expected fish. Size #1 (24 lb) for light inshore, #3-#4 (55-88 lb) for general offshore, #6-#8 (120-230 lb) for heavy trolling and jigging. When in doubt, go one size up. See our lure rigging guide.
How are these different from the Owner Hyper Wire split rings? +
Both are quality stainless steel rings. The Owner Hyper Wire starts at size #4 (50 lb) and goes to #11 (250 lb), focused on heavy-duty offshore. The AFW Mighty Mini covers the lighter range starting at #1 (24 lb). Use AFW for inshore and light tackle, Owner for heavy offshore.
Do I need split ring pliers? +
Strongly recommended. Opening split rings with fingernails or regular pliers damages the ring and your fingers. Our Halco Split Ring Pliers or AFW Split Ring Pliers make the job fast and clean.
How many come in a pack? +
Package quantities vary by size. Smaller sizes include more rings per pack, larger sizes fewer. All packs are $2.79. Stock up on the sizes you use most. Browse our terminal tackle for more rigging components.
Can I use these for replacing treble hooks? +
Yes. That is one of the most common uses. Open the ring, slide off the old treble, slide on the new one. See our treble hook sizing guide for matching hooks to lures.
Will saltwater corrode these? +
Stainless steel resists saltwater corrosion. These maintain their spring tension and strength through repeated saltwater exposure. Basic freshwater rinsing of your lures and terminal tackle extends life even further. See our terminal tackle guide.
