I make twisted mono leaders without a jig and put tippet ring on after. Slip the tippet loop through the ring and slide the leader butt through tippet loop . Pull the leader all the through and it forms a loop to loop knot on the tippet ring.
Maybe this will not work for furled leaders
I have not forgot about doing this for those interested, have a fair amount of reel seats and inserts to get turned and into tomorrow's mail. I am also off on mondays so I will make the time to get this to happen.
There just are not enough hours in my days to get things done, I am even 7 rod builds in the hole at this time.
I slip the 2mm ring over a #14 Crochet Hook
Then hook the small loop in the tippet end and slide the ring on the leader
using the knit picker I pull the Shorb Loop thru the tippet loop
Snug up the loop connection and the ring is installed
It's just my opinion but I feel this method is less likely to be a hinge point.
I agree with that statement, but Jack, remember what they say about opinions...Originally Posted by Jack Hise

Gents,
Thank you all. Jack, thanks for taking the time to add pictures. They have helped immensely. When my rings arrive y'all will be the first to know if I have attached them correctly.
Thanks again everyone.

Jack thank you ... this gives me something to chew on and if Ron gets his up the more the merrier
Jack's way works best for me!

Finally got some leaders furled and had a chance to put on some tippet rings. Many thanks go to all of you who offered advice and input. Jack, you pictures and instruction were invaluable. I made three types of thread leaders and also some mono leaders and the rings worked well on them all.
Thanks again to you all; now I can't wait to use them.
