intellectual property rights would need to be registered to the forum cos we could now challenge, but carbon/nylon rings may float better or something, who's going to phone snowbee?

I once chanced a micro rubber 0-ring in a tight stream where 8-10"ers are the norm and promply hooked a 2.5 lb trout - no worries

Can I ask WHY do you want plastic and not metal?

Kind regards

Yes, if you look on a Polish website; bogdangawlik.pl/index.php?language=en, accesories,rollers, you will find them for sale. I have tried them but they are too difficult for my old fingers to tie.

Regards

Mell
