Loon Perfect Rig Tippet Rings or Pitzenbauer ring.
Whether at the tying desk or on the water: the practical and well thought-out utensiles from Loon Outdoors have made our lives much easier and we no longer want to do without them. Behind the brand are passionate fly fishers who have recognized the need for high-quality tools and implemented them perfectly.
Tippet rings or also called 'Pitzenbauer rings' are the ideal connection between leader and leader tip. Tied as a link, the rings prevent the tapered leader from shortening after each retying of tippet material. Another great advantage of tippet rings is when nylon and fluorocarbon are tied together. This is because when knotted directly, the denser fluorocarbon can cut into the nylon, weakening the knot - using a tippet ring prevents this. The same applies to the connection of two lines that differ greatly in diameter.
The Perfect Rig tippet rings from Loon are particularly smooth in their surface and are ideal for very fine leaders. Even with stronger lines you do not have to worry, because the small 2 mm rings have a breaking strain of considerable 17 lb.
