Xuron 496 Split Ring Plier

Xuron 496 Split Ring Plier is built to make split-ring work fast, controlled, and clean—so you can swap hooks and hardware without fighting the ring or mashing your fingers.

Keep it on the rigging bench or in the boat for quick lure maintenance between spots; the curved catch tip opens the ring and then holds it steady, and the low-profile return spring resets the tool for the next change. Xuron 496 Split Ring Plier also handles rings down to #00 for fine-tuning smaller baits.

What Sets It Apart

• Speeds up hook and ring changes, thanks to a curved tip that slips between coils to open them cleanly.
• Keeps the ring from walking or twisting mid-swap, thanks to a notched opposing blade that seats it for stability.
• Improves reliability under hard use, thanks to heat-treated high carbon steel construction.
• Covers a wide range of hardware with one tool, making these Split Ring Pliers effective even on small rings down to #00.
