ballyhoo. The o-ring is perfectly sized to accept the industry standard 6/0-9/0 circle hooks.

The o-ring is larger than #1’s and is commonly paired with thicker wire 10/0-12/0 circle hooks. Size 3 Ringer Swivels™ are commonly rigged with large pitch baits: mackerel/horse ballyhoo. Thicker wire 12/0+ hooks no problem. The Turner Tackle Ringer Swivels are specialized live bait rigging components designed to create healthier, more natural bait presentations for offshore trolling and pitch bait fishing. Engineered to fit industry-standard #8 UV bands, these “Live” Ringer Swivels allow rigged baits to rotate freely and independently from the hook, reducing stress on the bait and preventing unnatural sideways tracking in current or rough seas. Widely used in tournament offshore fishing, Ringer Swivels provide an effective solution for rigging circle hooks in tournament-legal bait presentations. The swivel is attached directly to the bait using copper rigging wire, while the circle hook slides cleanly through the integrated O-ring for quick rigging and improved bait action. Available in multiple sizes, they accommodate everything from small ballyhoo to large pitch baits and heavy-duty circle hook applications.
