Actually these I saw on a saltwater fishing forum, the fisherman tied them up for harbor fishing for spotted sand bass "spotties". They are ringed fly-line hooks, not split rings. Much stronger. They are pretty popular on teh West coast when flylining live chovies and sardines. I liked to use them when bottom bouncing for halibut using flukes or live bait just because it gave the lure more action & live bait more natural movement. I can imagine on a fly it would allow some side to side swing while retrieving and some extra insurance against thrown hooks allowing the connection to slide/swivel around the eye of the hook as the fish fights.
