Do they have to be Riverge?

I bought some Roman Moser 2mm rings at Farmoor earlier this year.

Riverge or Roman Moser and wouldnt use anything else or you may run the risk of sharp edges, rough spots or rust spots - all of which will snap your line in the blink of an eye when a good fish hits you.

This I have learnt through trial and error.

Perhaps I might stand to be corrected but I have tried other rings from coarse shops and keep having to come back to Riverge or Roman Moser (did I try Vision once???)

I think the last ones I tried were Lureflash and they kept on cutting into my line (up to 11lb Riverge Fluro) but Riverge and Roman Moser are brilliant.

A bit north of you, but Walkers of Trowell stock them too. Close to the M1 too. I don't think their mail order charges were too bad either.

I'd echo that..Lureflash are hopeless.

I get mine at Farlows when I'm in London but Sportfish sell them and it's only £1.50 for delivery, I think.
