Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Lure anglers replacing worn hardware. Three sizes and clear dimensions help you match replacement rings to the lure and hook.
- Anglers who maintain their own lure box. A ten-ring pack gives you useful spares for hook changes and damaged-ring replacements.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers who need a stated breaking strain. The supplied details give dimensions rather than a load rating.
- Carp anglers looking for rig rings or quick-change links. These are split rings for connecting hardware, not direct substitutes for purpose-made carp rig components.

Quick verdict
A sensible spare for the lure box
These make sense for lure anglers replacing tired split rings or changing hooks. Stainless steel construction, a dark finish and three size options give you a straightforward choice without unnecessary gimmicks.
Pick by the lure eye, hook eye and original hardware—not just the fish you're chasing. The dimensions are useful, but they aren't breaking-strain figures, and bigger rings aren't automatically a better upgrade.

Stainless steel construction and a low-reflective finish are sensible choices for lure hardware.
Three size options support appropriate matching, though dimensions alone don't establish load capacity.
Correctly matched replacement rings help maintain a sound connection without being a bite-generating upgrade.
Clear dimensions help with selection, but fitting small split rings is fiddly without suitable pliers.
Ten-ring packs offer useful maintenance coverage, although outright bargain status depends on the selling price.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Fox Rage Strike Point Stainless Steel Split Rings
Split rings aren't the bit of a lure that gets you reaching for your wallet. A cracking perch pattern or a cheeky new surface bait usually wins that argument. But these little connections deserve a proper look, because they're often what holds the hook to the lure when something decent finally has a go. Fox Rage Strike Point Stainless Steel Split Rings cover that straightforward job: replacement connecting hardware in three sizes, with a dark finish and ten rings in a pack. Nothing flashy. Quite literally, in this case.
This is predator-lure tackle rather than another widget for your carp rig box. Think checking the rings on your plugs, swapping damaged hardware or fitting replacement hooks where a split-ring connection is intended. You don't need to rebuild every lure straight out of its packet, either. The sensible approach is to inspect what's already fitted and replace it when there's a reason. A ring that's bent, spread or no longer sitting closed isn't something to shrug off because the lure still looks mint.
The size information is properly useful here. Small has a 3.7 mm internal diameter and 0.7 mm wire, Medium steps up to 5.5 mm and 1.1 mm, and Large measures 7.2 mm internally with 1.3 mm wire. Those are internal measurements, not the overall width of each ring. That distinction matters when you're comparing them with the hardware on a lure. Check the wire thickness as well as the opening; a ring can look about right in diameter yet be a poor match for a tight hook eye.
There's a temptation to buy the biggest option and call it an upgrade, especially if pike are on the cards. Easy, mate. More metal isn't automatically the right answer. A bulky connection can leave a hook sitting awkwardly, reduce its freedom to swing or add unwanted weight. With a small hardbait or a lure designed to hang in the water on the pause, hardware changes can affect what it does. Matching the original arrangement is a better starting point than beefing everything up just for the sake of it.
Stainless steel is a sensible material for this sort of component, though it doesn't make routine checks redundant. Give the rings a look after freeing a snag, changing a hook or dealing with any obvious damage. The dark, low-reflective finish is a neat touch if you prefer subdued hardware, but don't turn that into a promise of extra bites. A ring that fits properly and stays in sound condition matters more than whether it disappears beautifully against your favourite lure. Fish location and presentation still do the heavy lifting.
For fitting, a suitable pair of split-ring pliers will save a fair bit of faff. Open the ring only as far as needed, work the eye around the coils and check that it closes neatly afterwards. Trying to wrestle tiny rings apart with your nails beside the water is nobody's idea of a relaxing session. It's also much easier to judge fit at home, with the hooks secured and decent light, than halfway along a windy canal with cold fingers and a lure dangling about.
A ten-ring pack is handy for keeping a few replacements alongside your spare hooks. Just keep the different sizes separate rather than tipping everything into one mystery compartment. Before heading out, check that the hook swings freely, the ring isn't sitting under tension and nothing catches against the lure body. If you're changing hook pattern as well, check the whole combination rather than blaming one part if the lure behaves differently. A quick look at its action in clear water by the edge can flag an obvious problem.
The appeal, then, is simple: clearly sized stainless steel rings for a small but important maintenance job. These aren't magic fish-catching extras, and the supplied dimensions don't give you a breaking strain. If you need a connection with a stated load rating, you'll need that confirmed rather than guessed from thickness. For everyday lure upkeep, though, the range gives you useful options. Buy the size that suits the hardware, fit it carefully and get back to the interesting bit—working the margins, finding the baitfish and making the next cast count.

Our take
Get the fit right before going bigger
The useful detail here is the combination of internal diameter and wire diameter. A ring needs room to move through both eyes without leaving the hook jammed against the lure.
Replacing like for like is a sensible starting point. Changing ring size and hook weight together can alter a lure's balance, particularly with small or carefully balanced hardbaits.
The hardware
Closer look: three sizes, one straightforward job
You're buying stainless steel split rings with a dark, low-reflective finish, supplied ten to a pack. Their split-coil design lets you thread compatible lure and hook eyes onto the ring. These aren't quick-change clips, so fitting them is a little maintenance job rather than an instant lure swap.
Small is code NAC043, Medium is NAC044 and Large is NAC045. The jump between sizes changes both the internal opening and the wire thickness. Use both measurements when choosing: clearance through the eye and freedom of movement matter just as much as the ring's apparent size.
Worth knowing. Internal diameter isn't outside diameter, and wire thickness isn't a breaking-strain rating. Don't treat these measurements as proof that a particular size is suitable for a particular load.
Your lure box
Who it suits: anglers who keep their hardware in order
These suit lure anglers who inspect and replace their own hardware, whether that's a worn ring on a favourite plug or a connection disturbed during a hook change. Having the right size ready beats leaving a useful lure out of action for the sake of one tiny part.
They're less relevant if you're shopping for carp rig rings, hook swivels or quick-change links. Those components have different jobs. Likewise, if your fishing calls for a stated load rating, don't pick a ring purely because Large sounds reassuring.
For balanced hardbaits, keep changes modest and deliberate. Start close to the original ring dimensions, fit the intended hook and check the lure's behaviour before committing to a full retrieve. Sorting that at the edge is less faff than wondering why your favourite lure suddenly looks wrong.
Quick answers
FAQs in full: pack size, fit and finish
How many do you get? Each pack contains 10 split rings. Keeping a few with your spare hooks makes sense, but keep the sizes labelled so a quick repair doesn't turn into a guessing game.
Which size should you choose? Compare the original ring with Small at 3.7 mm internal diameter and 0.7 mm wire, Medium at 5.5 mm and 1.1 mm, or Large at 7.2 mm and 1.3 mm. Then check the actual fit through both eyes. Once assembled, the hook should move freely and the coils should sit closed.
Will the dark finish get you more bites? It's low-reflective, which suits anglers who prefer discreet connections. That's a finish choice, not a catch guarantee. Sound hardware and an unimpeded lure action are the useful things to focus on.

Which size should I buy?
Start by matching the original ring and checking both connecting eyes. Small has a 3.7 mm internal diameter with 0.7 mm wire; Medium is 5.5 mm with 1.1 mm wire; Large is 7.2 mm with 1.3 mm wire.
03Does the dark finish help you catch more fish?
Does the dark finish help you catch more fish?
It reduces the hardware's reflectiveness, but that doesn't establish a catch-rate advantage. Correct fit, free hook movement and sound connections are the more practical priorities.
