..I can see the point of not wanting to keep nipping away at your leader.. so these rings in that situation make sense to me..
.. Im curious about your point on the weight of it.. the manufacturer basically says its weight will not affect anything.. I would think it would have to have a bearing on how fast the leader/tippet sinks.. it may not be a great increase but I would think its weight would make it faster sinking...
.. one of the keys that caught my eye on this was its use in a dropper setup.. these setups have been discussed at lenght several times before.. but if these rings make it that much easier to rig a dropper.. then I would think they would be worth a good look at them...
my other "concern" on these rings is if they would cause yet another point where something could come apart at the wrong time.. you mentioned braided/furled leaders being a good material to use these rings on (more correctly.. you have used in the past)...
would using a monofilament leader.. even a mono leader you tied up yourself.. become weaker at that point.. ??
.. what about a dropper loop instead of one of these rings?? would one work better than the other??
..as usual gang.. I have way more questions than answers.. [unsure]
