Steve, I have had the same dilemma with tippet rings. Just to elaborate more on everything Kenny said. I noticed the tippet rings that are nickel/silver are rounded better than the tippet rings in black in my observations. I tested the nickel & black tippet rings and definitely the black tippet rings have sharper roundness causing the tippet to cut/break. I’m assuming the different types of material used to make the tippet rings. Again, it’s not a scientific proof just my observation. Another option is to use micro swivels. Just my 2 cents worth.

Tightlines.
