The Offshore Ring is chosen to secure a connection between a lure, hook, or assist hook without creating a weak point in the rig. Stainless steel is suitable for saltwater use and rigs exposed to corrosion. Smaller sizes maintain a compact profile for slimmer jigs, while larger sizes provide more margin for heavy-duty fishing. The choice of strength should be consistent with the line, the lure, and the target fish. Packaging varies by size, which prevents unnecessarily overpacking the strongest models.
