| A buddy got me hooked on placing a split ring between the line and leader. It prevents the leader from being pulled into the eye as I begin the figure 8. Works great, especially at night. |

| Now they just need to make a padded split ring. So when I am night fishing, I don't ruin my tip.
I ram the leader into my rod tip once every four or five casts at night. |

| I have seen night fishing leaders at Gander Mtn, they have a large glow bead on them so you can see it. |

| The split ring is a great idea. I fish at night some, and get irritated with the swivel running through the tip top. I never thought of a split ring, that will work!!
Glow bead ahaed of the split ring, and it is bulletproof. |

| For night fishing try putting a slip bobber knot a couple feet ahead of your leader. You will get used to feeling it pass through your tip top guide and know to go into a fig 8

| Great tip ranger, I have tried placing a large bead but need a slip knot too. I am forever doing it because I can't see 1ft in most of the water I fish. |
