I got one of these "things" for Christmas - my question is whether the front tie on ring is supposed to spin (it does on the one i received) - seems to me that it should not - just wanted to see if anyone knew before i took it back
Thanks for any help!

Be careful bouncing bigger fish out of the water. The wire will pull out of the head fairly easy.

I fish the strike king with the heavier wire and never had a problem and I have boat flipped 5lb+ bass. I used to fish the yum but I always was having to bend the wire back out them they broke.

Can promise, you will not pull out the arms on mine and will hold up a lot better than most that are being mentioned here. More than likely at a lot better price also. Build 3 different types of them to to suit your fishing needs. https://www.flatlandscustomtackle.com/store/c12/Skooly_Rigs.html

Those look pretty slick and you put the split ring on them for storage as well.
