split the ring open and start taking the old hook off, at the same time put the eye of the new treble in behind the old hook and just keep turning the split ring. The new hook gets put on as the old one gets off.

Just go slow- You try to go that fast and you'll wind up with bloody fingers.

split the ring open and start taking the old hook off, at the same time put the eye of the new treble in behind the old hook and just keep turning the split ring. The new hook gets put on as the old one gets off. This is the truth, for sure. I took a pair of my split ring pliers and grounds down the jaws to make them fit into even smaller split rings.
Be safe, Rayzor ![[Linked Image]](http://i418.photobucket.com/albums/pp267/JLedbetter/th_Boatpics036.jpg) 2001 Triton Tx-21/225 Mercury EFI

The Texas Tackle split ring pliers are far and away better than any others I have had---large or small split rings.

I wished I knew you were there. I'd had you pick up my hub.

Looks easy but is darn hard. Thanks for the video. Now I need a video on how to get the hook out of my finger(LOL).
