Ring Lock is American Tackle's patented ring seat (US Patent D627,032), which the maker describes as a pressure-fit design with an enlarged glue reservoir and increased contact area around the ring, intended to stop rings popping out and to shrug off knocks. The single foot matters on a fly rod: one wrap instead of two means less thread, less epoxy and less dead weight on a blank that has to load and unload through a full casting stroke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-foot frame — one wrap per guide, minimum added mass on the blank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRing Lock pressure-fit ring seat with enlarged glue reservoir (US Patent D627,032)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChrome-finish Dura ring, the hard-wearing everyday ring in this range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree ring sizes: 5, 8 and 10 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel 64DCRLF, SKUs coded by ring size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Build With It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizing the train\u003c\/strong\u003e — Run 10 mm nearest the grip where the line still carries coil off the reel, step to 8 mm through the mid-section, then 5 mm toward the tip so the line is near straight before the tip top.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing a single-foot rod\u003c\/strong\u003e — Start at about one guide per foot of blank plus one, tape them on and flex the rod under a hanging weight.
