Is there a supposed weight rating or tolerance on the split rings used for trap connectors? Any difference between the medium and large split rings other than the diamater?

Thanks

I learnt my lesson wirh split rings back in the late 70s. Lost a couple dozen traps and coons. Strong S hooks work well.

Carolina Foxer,
For coyotes (or the possibility of a large domestic)...I'd NEVER use split rings.

3/16" quick links will never let you down. Tighten them snug with pliers.
