Rapala is known for productive lures, well-thought-out tackle and outstanding quality - and even the smallest, most unassuming products have more to them than first meets the eye.

The Little Gadget from Rapala

The RCD Mini Split Ring Tool is a compact split ring tool - but there's a good deal more to it than that. While conventional split ring tools are full-sized pliers, this one is closer to a small clipper that sits neatly on a keyring or clips onto an EZ Retractable Lanyard. It's small enough to slip into even the tightest pocket without any bother, which means it's always within reach when you need it.

When Would You Actually Need a Split Ring Tool?

Sooner than you might think. Anyone who has managed to free a plug from a snag knows what comes next: more often than not, you're also looking at replacing a bent treble hook. Or perhaps the treble hook isn't the right size for the fish you're targeting at that particular water, or single hooks are required by the rules. Some trout anglers even stack several split rings in front of the treble hook under certain conditions, to give it more freedom of movement and reduce the risk of tearing out. The reasons for changing a split ring are, in short, far more varied than you'd expect.

The Bonus Feature of the Rapala RCD Mini Split Ring Tool

Rapala has built one small extra into this tool: at the end, almost hidden from view, sits a bottle opener that you'd barely notice at first glance. So yes - it's a tool for the angler on every level.
