I am reaching out to the West Coast guys here.. I understand that these Rosco Butt Rings are used out there.,the kind that are split,and need to be welded in place to close.. I am looking to get some..but I don`t need a ton. Anyone have any they can part with ?

They have to be brazed or welded. What size are you looking for?
:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

The best way is silver brazing.  When Mary's pre schol is out for the summer I will do a tutorial.

Well,i am thinking #5....maybe 5A ,but I don`t know how strong that size would be.... I am in the NorthEast..Stripers and Bluefish is what I will be doing battle with.. I want to use it on these tins so I don`t have to use Duo Lock Snaps..

Yeah, silver brazing would look best and not require burnishing, but why not just use split rings.  They would look even better and be as strong as the hook.

Cause it's very difficult to get them on,and if you do,it really baats up the split ring.,it's been tried by many,,common issue with these tins,,which is why duo locks are used.

In the past Rosco has sold me smaller quantities than 1000 and they have sent samples.  The wire size of the 5"s is strong enough +, the 5 is only 1/4" ID, the 5A is almost 1/2" ID.  I would go with either 5A or 5/16" ID 5B.

My wife is the photographer in the family but she closed her studio and now has a pre school to keep her out of my hair.

If not I think I do but I will have to figure out what box they are in, I am moving out of the shop I have been in for 15 years and things are worse than usual.  How many are you looking for?

I have had the line caught and damaged by a split ring and prefer silver brazed rings.  I ring my own live bait hooks too.

I prefer rosco butt rings over split rings, cleaner look to me. Some guy on bloodydeck ordered a while bunch and is selling them in small packs. Do a search there.

I lost a big Tuna from a welded split ring. I dont use them for anything. If a lure comes with them they get changed to a split ring.

Depending on who's the lure manufacturer, I change out split rings or jump rings.  Some lures are provided with not so good quality components.

There are a few companies of split rings that I trust. Owner and Wolverine. If I'm only attaching my lure to a split ring and my assist hooks are attached to a solid ring, any cheap split ring will do for me.
