I tie my own casts with dropers and my own taperd leaders. That not to say i would not change if the rings were stronger.? The way I tie my dropers requires cuting the nylon to rejoin.? i,m not sure what the knots called, but it,s done in two parts. The way i tie my tapers is a double underhand knot. These methods have landed salmon,sea trout etc if anyone is familiar with this method can you give your opinion on how they compare for strength ? Thanks Alan ?

Stick to whats working mate, im no great fan of them rings for some reason I get tangles with them.

Ive used the rings on leaders I got from the states fishing for greyling
made by UMPQUA they were czech nymph leaders and they would take some breaking but to tell the truth i dont think I would use the rings on still waters would rather keep to the water Knot for max strength
but they say that there strong enough when joining tippets to a leader when breaking strains are matched and half blood 5 turn knot is used
