How exactly does a diamond jig fail?

OK , fair question, diamond jigs split ring opened, one was a little rusted and didn't inspect before using in the middle of a bird play, hope that answers ur question so any suggestions on sizes? thx for ur response

No split rings , take them off .
Tie directly to top wire of jig .
Use an open eye siwash hook for the bottom .
Since using for stripers use a Gami open eye in 8/0

Will get way better hook ups than the normal 4-5/0
