Umpqua Tippet Ring Standard 2mm 10pc-pack

So small, so useful! Tippet rings are a great help as they create a connection between leader/polyleader and tippet.

These smooth, strong rings by Umpqua are simply tied to the end of a tapered leader or polyleader. Then, a piece of tippet is added. This allows the tapered leader or polyleader to maintain its original length and not shorten after each fly change. Tippet rings are also used in modern nymph fishing to switch between a sighter and tippet made of colored monofilament. Another significant advantage is the use of tippet rings when connecting monofilament with fluorocarbon. Directly knotting monofilament with fluorocarbon results in very low knot strength because fluorocarbon has a "sharper" surface and "abrasively" wears down the monofilament at the knot. Using a tippet ring prevents this. The same applies to connecting two lines with significantly different diameters.

These versatile tippet rings from Umpqua have a diameter of 2mm and a reliable strength of 26 lbs (approximately 11.7 kg). Ideal for trout and grayling fishing or nymph fishing for barbel and other species. Umpqua's tippet rings made of stainless steel are supplied on a carabiner for easier assembly and to prevent losing the small rings by the water.
