Ringers Loop Tyer

Ringers Floating Loop Tyer

In match and precision coarse fishing, consistency isn’t just an advantage—it is the absolute foundation of your catch rate. When you are swapping out hooklengths or building high-finesse pole rigs, a variation of just a few millimeters in your loop sizes can completely disrupt your depth settings and rig alignment. Tying microscopic loops by hand with cold, wet fingers is a recipe for frustration and human error. The Ringers Floating Loop Tyer provides the ultimate mechanical solution, ensuring that every single loop knot you construct is micro-sized, structurally perfect, and completely identical to the last.

Whether you struggle with tying tight knots due to changing eyesight or you are a tournament angler demanding perfection under pressure, this clever dual-ended tool entirely eliminates the guesswork. It allows you to rapidly loop up dozens of precise rigs in seconds, transferring the labor away from your hands and onto a fixed, high-tolerance molding block.

At Gerry’s Fishing, we know how easy it is for small tackle tools to vanish into the margin or get lost in long bankside grass. Ringers has completely engineered out that headache. Molded from an ultra-buoyant, high-density polymer and finished in striking fluorescent colorways, this loop tyer sits high and proud on the water surface if dropped, making bankside recovery completely stress-free.

Technical Specifications

Key Features & Construction

• Double-Ended Micro Layout: Features two distinct pinning configurations on a single chassis. One end is scaled for tying ultra-neat micro loops (perfect for hooklength connections), while the opposite end generates a slightly larger standard loop tailored for pole rig attachments and heavy mainlines.

• Fail-Safe Floating Architecture: Forged from an advanced, low-density plastic formulation that cannot sink. If it slips from your lap while fishing wading setups or seatbox platforms, it will bob cleanly on the surface ripples until retrieved.

• Hi-Viz Fluorescent Camouflage Shield: Finished exclusively in bright, high-contrast neon tints. This ensures the tool screams out visually when dropped amongst long grass, mud, or dark bait towels, putting an end to costly replacements.

• Smoothed Burr-Free Line Channels: The internal slots and pegs are meticulously polished post-molding. This removes sharp flashing and rough plastic seams, allowing fine-diameter monofilaments to slide and compress without picking up micro-abrasions or structural heat damage.

Where to Use: Recommended Scenarios

• Mass Hooklength Hook-Box Prep: The ultimate bench tool for winter prep. Before a big festival, you can sit at home and pre-tie hundreds of identical 4-inch or 6-inch hooklengths using a hook-tier, knowing that the Ringers Loop Tyer will place the terminal loop at the exact same millimeter mark on every single line.

• Precision Top-Kit Pole Rig Construction: Crucial when setting up multiple identical pole rigs for shallow or deck fishing. Ensuring the top loop of your main rig line is identically sized makes setting your depth across different top kits perfectly repeatable.

• Hair-Rig Hair Loop Creation: Exceptional when tying custom bait-band or rapid-stop hair rigs. Using the micro end of the tyer creates an ultra-small, neat loop at the end of the hair, keeping your bait bands sitting tight and straight without bulky knot bulkheads.

The Gerry’s Fishing Verdict

The Ringers Floating Loop Tyer is one of those inexpensive, unassuming pieces of tackle that completely transforms your technical efficiency. Many generic loop tyers are made of heavy, dark plastics that sink like stones the moment they slip out of your hands, or feature rough edges that weaken fine lines. Phil Ringer has ironed out those flaws perfectly with this floating, hi-viz, ultra-smooth version. It brings mathematical precision to your rig building and ensures your terminal setups are 100% reliable.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: To tie a absolutely pristine, unyielding figure-of-eight loop using this tool, double over your line and create a basic loop over your index finger. Insert the pegs of the loop tyer into the loop and rotate the tool one full 360-degree turn to create your twisting twists. Next, lift the line loop off your finger and pass it cleanly through the structural slit in the tyer head. Always remember to thoroughly moisten the line with saliva or water before pulling the knot closed. Slide the line tight down against the plastic pegs of the tool; the moisture allows the monofilament to bed down flawlessly without friction-burning, leaving you with a perfectly formed, full-strength loop every single time!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do the loop sizes differ between each end of the tool?

The tool is designed with a micro-peg configuration at one end and a standard-peg configuration at the other. The smaller end is custom-scaled to form tiny, highly discrete loops that minimize presentation profile—ideal for attaching hooklengths to quick-change beads or swivels. The larger end produces a longer, robust loop that is much easier to unpick or loop-to-loop onto heavy connectors or the Dacron links of your pole tip.

Can this loop tyer handle thick lines or modern braids?

Yes, absolutely. The internal slots are wide enough to accommodate modern braided lines used for distance feeder shockleaders, as well as high-diameter monofilaments up to standard specimen gauges. However, because braided lines do not possess the same structural memory as monofilament, ensure you pull the braid firmly and securely against the plastic frame to seat the knot properly.

Will the fluorescent colors fade if left out on my side tray in summer?

Not at all. The high-contrast fluorescent pigments used by Ringers are chemically stabilized and integrated directly into the polymer liquid during the injection-molding stage. They are highly resistant to UV bleaching and will easily maintain their bright visibility through seasons of continuous exposure to blistering sunshine or torrential rain.
