Another beauty of the furled leader, no slip of the thingamabobber.
They lock it in perfect, but push on one end of the line and they slide to where ever you want then stay.
Dry Rod, you don't need the ring, infact in the beginning I was using a shorb loop at both ends. When I found these rings ( and a 2mm is about the size of a #14 hook eye and 3mm a #4), they seemed like a very easy answer to the pain in the hinde end tippet end. It is so hard to stick the knit picker between the furl for the shorb loop at the small end, butt end, no problem.
Another advantage to the ring is, the tippet doesn't cut into the thread or, an accidental cut while trying to remove tippet.
Dry Rod, I am trying to send you a PM but when I put the cursor on pribvate message for you, a blue line goes across and I can't click on the PM button, so pm me or e-mail me if you would please.
THANKS
