To Split Ring, or not to Split Ring?

The consensus from what I can glean of off various internet message boards is that a loop knot does not prohibit the intended action of the lure. Hence the split ring for those who prefer to tie a knot(or snap lock) directly to the split ring so that the lure is still free to action itself.
