As a general rule the smaller the diameter with the same wire stock the hight pound capacity. I use the Rosco SS 4H for my lures. and They are rated higher than any other 4 SS. They use a heavier wire. If you want to do a test yourself. Just put a nail in a beem and put the split ring around the nail then put a piese of heavy wire/cable and attach it to a heavy fishing scale and see where the point is where it starts to spread. You'd be amazed at the difference between different materials or companies.
