Quick take
Small aluminum rings that attach between leader and tippet to allow quick tippet changes without shortening the leader.
These small anodized aluminum rings join a fly leader to a tippet, so you tie the tippet to the ring instead of shortening the leader each time you change flies. The set comes in two sizes, 2mm and 2.5mm, ten rings of each, and they also work for tying droppers. Suited to trout anglers who swap tippet often on any leader system.
