Quick take
Stainless steel tippet rings that connect leaders to tippet without cutting back the leader each time you change flies.
These small stainless steel tippet rings measure 2 mm and carry a 17 lb line test, with a black nickel finish. They let you attach new tippet to a leader without trimming the leader back each time. Each pack holds ten rings, a handy supply for fly anglers who rig often.
