For top water I normally remove them, not so much on lures that stay submerged.
Granted knot type can play a factor if you remove them. Example, the centauri knot is amazing. However it clinches very tight and can limit lure finesse.

I run TA clips on my line and remove the split rings from my lures; this allows me to easily swap lures out quickly

Remove split rings and use either a loop knot or a single small snap.

Less gear is better. If you tie the proper loop knot, you don’t need the split ring. The split ring is put on because most people don’t tie the proper knot, which doesn’t allow proper action.

Either lose the swivel or the ring. That swivel is going to affect the lureâs movement. They make some snaps without the swivel that would be a better fit. If you do decide to use a snap, then remove the ring. You need one or the other, not both.

No rings, no swivels. Just a single loop knot.
