Treble hooks & split rings

#1 Post by alby »

Hi all,

was running a check over all my gear yesterday and some of my trebles & split rings have corroded badly.

Can anyone suggest what size treble I should be replacing and good stainless split rings?

Cheers

size 6 or 8 owner are the dogs alby, i would normally change the split rings as soon as i see any trace of rust.
i also rinse in fresh water and dry them before putting them away :wink:
