Do you use them?

No. Have never even tried them, so not much of an opinion. Interested, but not even sure where I'd buy them.
Buffalo: They're just what they sound like, little metal rings, similar to a barrel swivel that spin fishermen often use. Put at the end of a leader, before the tippet. Makes changing tippets easy, no blood knots needed. And also makes tying droppers easy. But I'd imagine they don't float very well so they'd be bad for dries.

me I heard of them, I don't think I'll use them but I'll check them out. Years ago I had these tiny hooks that you put on the end of your tippet to change flies without tieing them on. I don't think I ever used them, from what I remember I think Eagle Claw made them.

Wonder if they still make those? They would really come in handy fishing for stockies on opening day where you are changing flies every 2 minutes.

And for whoever said tippet rings were crazy expensive, would these work? Have to check size, I suppose, they may be too big. The diameter listed is the gauge of the wire, not the diameter of the ring.
