I am interested in swapping these trebels out and using single barbles hooks this weekend. I noticed I didnt get the inline hookes and instead these have the standard open eye. Some say its designed to be used without a split ring, some have shown to just use the inlines and I wondered also if having the hook turned 90⁰ with the split would cause problems, or having 2 split rings to accomodate the 90⁰ turn. What do uou guys think, I have a few hours before I leave.

Spinners spin so no natter the hook eye orientation they’ll point all directions at some point.
For the spoon, just use two split rings if you only have plug/minnow hooks. Nothing wrong with the split ring! Unless you have siwash hooks you have to use them.
If I’m swapping out trebles on a plug I normally only run one siwash off the back with a swivel and split ring. Spinners I’ll crimp directly to the wire, spoons I run a siwash on a swivel.
