Hola Bruce,

I have to agree completely. Those tippet rings are the best damn product
I have used. I swear by them for the reasons your mentioned. Mono leader
to tippet ring, and then flouro off the ring.

What type of knot to you tie TO and FROM the ring? It's a pain in the butt
to get my monkey fingers around that tiny ring, but once you do, I have never
had one fail. However, they should come in a 20 pack because you can count
on losing half of those little suckers just by having them bounce out of your
grip. Don't even bother looking. GONE!

Let's see...my FF Tip. I'd have to say when I'm nymphing, leading the
rod tip slightly ahead of the flies downstream (tight lining). For me, this
made a huge difference in my hook ups. I missed far less fish versus being
right over the top of the flies with my rod tip. Much quicker on the set.
Works like a charm at places like the Pit, or any pocket water for that matter.
