Solid Grommit Rings!!
April 29, 2009, 10:38:25 PM
I know some people may use round solid rings and some people use the solid ring with the hard graphite ring attached to it when tying poppers or stick baits,i have lost my last bag which i had got from LPB in Noumea when i was there last and wondering if anyone knows where to buy them from on the net,i know a website but didnt manage to save it to my favourites at all  >:( so there for i cannot find them!!

Any idea where i can find them again ?,i have been told that the Varivas smooth round solid rings are the go with out the Grommit attached to it!!

The supplyier was from the USA for memory!!

Nate - What about using those small thimbles that alot of gamefishers use, they are normally a hard plastic which is most often glow in the dark material as well...

They are pretty much available anywhere at most tackle stores here as they are really commonly used..... Not sure if they are on your side.... cheap as chips too...

Would something like this work?

Some thimbles used in jigging,one with a knot and the other using a crimp.
