    Thank you John. I tend to go along with your thoughts. The Castwell knot is indeed closing up on boaf flexible lines....not a hard ring.
    Didn't think of that....well I think I sort of did because I had my doubts and asked.
    I just purchased and received a Knot Kneedle tool. I think it will be good for knots.
    Thank you John

    I just use a clinch know to secure tippet to a tippet ring. Been doing that for decades now.
    Happiness is wading boots that never have a chance to dry out.

    There are better options for attaching a ring to a furled leader than clinch knot which by the way I use all the time for most other applications.
    Do a search on this site for Attaching rings to furled leaders." Sorry I don't know how to create a link. This method in my opinion is even stronger
    and easier than building the ring into the furling process.

    I have the Knot Kneedle & LOVE it!...So does my 87 year old fishin' buddy. There's nothing close when tying clinch & improved clinch knots.
    You made a great purchase. (just my opinion)
