Tippet rings are just what they sound like, little rings
between the leader and tippet. They're a neat innovation
and they came up in the discussion of furled leaders
because they're practically the only thing I like about
the furled leaders I bought recently.


Is there any problems with the little rings sinking, and pulling the
tippet down with it.

And what about hinging? I think I'm missing something here. I don't see
how the work. What knots are reused?
