be easier just to take the broken ring off and tape a new one in place, better safe than have the line go on a fish as its cut through on a damaged eye ........ maybe the liner could be pushed back in , if it does try a small dab of superglue to hold it in place |

Big surprise for a lot of fishing folk, but it does dissolve with prolonged water contact. Hot melt glue which is quite brittle is ideal for tip rings where there is a large contact area but not so good where the contact area is small (Such as a ring liner) Twin pack epoxy on the other hand, is pretty much bullet proof and is probably a better solution for this application. |

Take it to Paul Jackson in Scotties in Sandown, he'll replace it for about £7 and you'll never know which ring has been done.
