Default Leader Rings
Does anyone use leader rings?



Sounds like a good way to connect a tippet to a heavier, larger diameter leader.

I form a loop into my furled leaders when I make them. Serves the same purpose as the ring, but is an integral part of the leader. It is a good way to connect a tippet to a heavier leader.

I haven't, but I can't help wondering if it would cause hinging.
