Next, tie your desired length of tippet to the opposite side of the ring using the same secure knot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen constructing dropper rigs, you can tie a second piece of tippet directly to the same ring, creating a 90-degree tag end for your nymph. For fly tying purposes, secure the ring to the rear of a streamer shank using tight thread wraps and superglue, providing a frictionless anchor point for articulation wire or trailing hook loops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy We Like It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe like Angler's Image Tippet Rings because they drastically reduce leader turnover and save money by preventing the continuous shortening of tapered leaders.

Rio Tippet Rings are typically forged with a slightly thicker gauge wire in their 2mm size, providing a marginally higher break strength but adding a microscopic amount of weight that can pull down highly buoyant dry flies, making Angler's Image a superior choice for delicate dry fly presentations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExample Flies Using Tippet Rings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eArticulated Trout Intruders\u003c\/b\u003e: Tying an Angler's Image Tippet Ring to the back of a 20mm Waddington shank creates a frictionless loop point for trailing stinger hooks.
